Description
The lamp post at the northern end of Trinity Road is a street lamp post from 1899 or later, with lanterns that were replaced in the late 20th century. It is a tall, cast iron post featuring a cylindrical base that includes an access door adorned with the Harrogate coat of arms. Above the base, a series of bands lead to a beaded ring from which a pair of acanthus leaves rise, clasping the flared bottom of the post. The post continues with four additional bands, including a flange and a crown of palm leaves, before transitioning into a plain circular column. This column reaches a square block that supports the ball-ended ladder supports. The top of the post is bell-ended and features further embossed decoration. The modern supports for the replacement light fittings are attached above this point and are made of scroll work formed from steel, rather than cast or wrought iron. The pair of lanterns is designed based on the early 20th century ‘Rochester’ style.
