Lamp post at the east end of Trinity Road

The street lamp post at the east end of Trinity Road dates from 1899 or later, with its lanterns 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 decorative bands lead to a beaded ring from which a pair of acanthus leaves emerge, 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 ball-ended ladder supports. The top of the post is bell-ended and features further embossed decoration. Modern supports for the replacement light fittings are attached above this point, made of scroll work formed from steel rather than cast or wrought iron, with the three lanterns designed in the style of the early 20th century ‘Rochester’ design.
