Description

The lamp standard outside the Town Hall was likely built around the same time as the Town Hall itself in 1907. It is made of cast iron and features a circular design with a rope-moulded crossbar above a fluted stem. The base has decorative rope and Robin banding, and the top is adorned with a square lantern that is surmounted by a coloured crown.
