Description

This listing describes a pair of former gas lamp posts dating from 1848, located outside 3-25 Swan Road. The lamp posts are made of cast iron and feature a square base with embossed decoration that includes a Yorkshire rose above a palmette on each face. The design includes a tapering, reeded column topped by a bell capital decorated with a palmette. At the top, there are small lion heads flanked by ornately shaped ladder rests. Originally, the lantern was supported by four curving legs, known as a frog, which has since been lost, along with the lantern itself. The current replacement lamp, swan neck, and switch box are not considered of special interest. The lamp posts are visually linked to the nearby Grade II-listed crescent of town houses built in the 1880s.
