Description
Pair of former gas lamp posts, 1848 design with late C20 lamps.
FORM: cast iron with a square base with embossed decoration featuring a Yorkshire rose set above a palmette to each face. Rising from the base is a tapering, reeded column topped by a palmette decorated bell capital. Above this are a pair of small lion heads flanked by ornately shaped ladder rests. Originally the lantern would rise above this, supported on four curving legs (known as a frog), having glazing to the square base as well as the four sides. The frog and lantern have been lost, the replacement lamp, swan neck and switch box* are not of special interest.
STREET SETTING: the lamp posts have a strong visual linkage with 3-25 Swan Road, a Grade II-listed crescent of town houses built in the 1880s.
- Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that these aforementioned features are not of special architectural or historic interest.
