Lamp post at the southern end of Park Parade

The lamp post at the southern end of Park Parade is a street lamp post dating from 1899 or later, with its lanterns replaced in the late 20th century.

This tall, cast iron post features 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 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. At the top, the post culminates in a square block that supports ball-ended ladder supports. The upper section of the post is bell-ended and carries further embossed decoration. Modern supports for the replacement light fittings are attached above this point, featuring scroll work made from steel rather than cast or wrought iron, with the pair of lanterns designed in the early 20th century ‘Rochester’ style.
