Description
WELLS
ST5545 MARKET PLACE 662-1/7/349 (North side) Triple lamp standard approx 35 metres to north of Town Hall
GV II
Lamp standard with triple head. c1860, signed Felix Thomas, Weston-super-Mare. Cast-iron on stone base. A square plinth with moulded base stands on a stone paved base approx 1.5m square, and translates to a circular moulded base rising to a slender tapered shaft with moulded "cotton-reel" capital from which spring 3 overthrow arms to banded cylindrical pendant lamps with flared hood, and hemispherical glass lamp protectors. The overthrows are supported on and surmounted by thin wrought-iron scrolls, rising as a crowning pinnacle. The standard was probably originally gas lit but has been changed to electricity. In photographs of 1905 and 1942 it seems to have been white painted. It is similar to, but not identical with, a standard on Cathedral Green, (qv). A fine example of C19 street furniture. (Howell: Wells in Old Photographs: Plates 56, 77: Gloucester: 1989-).
