Description
This is a lamp post located approximately 4 metres east of the Church of Saint John the Baptist. It dates from the early 19th century and is made of cast iron. The lamp post features a square base adorned with lion masks. The lower half of the shaft is reeded, while the upper half is octagonal. It has fern-leaf decoration on the middle and top sections of the shaft. There are four curved brackets intended to support an oil lamp, which is currently missing, and a projecting arm with a moulded finial, likely used as a ladder support. Similar lamp posts can be found in Kirkgate and Gallows Steps, Kirkgate. This lamp post is part of the remnants of the first gas works system, mains, and lights installed by John Malam, with the lights being turned on for the first time on 13th September 1824.
