External sculpture, lamp posts, gate piers and boundary curb.
1938-9. Designed for the County Hall (qv). Architects James
and Bywaters with Rowland Pierce. Bas relief cast-iron drum,
with figure of Diana the Huntress, harts and hounds stands on
York stone paving adjoining the Members' car park outside the
main entrance portico of County Hall: it was originally
intended to be placed on a small round point on axis with the
main doorway.
The lamp posts were purpose designed with bronze lanterns with
conical copper tops, globe lamps and bronze brackets. Similar
to those wall mounted on building but 6 are set on tapered
concrete octagonal columns with plinths, probably manufactured
at Ware by Concrete Utilities Ltd., pioneers of concrete lamp
posts.
The gateways to the Members' and Visitors' car parks are
flanked by dwarf Portland stone octagonal piers with moulded
caps; Portland stone bolection moulded boundary curb with
steles at intervals runs from the Leahoe car park access on
west, past the Members' and Visitors' car parks, and along the
Peg's Lane boundary to the point where the car park backs on
to the curved road.
These items are included as important elements of County Hall
(qv).
