Description


TORQUAY

SX9164 LYMINGTON ROAD 885-1/14/149 (South West side) Lamp post to south-east of Town Hall

GV II

Lamp post. Probably contemporary with the 1910-11 town hall. Metal, probably cast-iron. One of a group of 4 of identical design outside the town hall. Originally lit by gas, later converted to electricity. Thick cylindrical base with an egg-and-dart moulding below a baluster-shaped foot with acanthus leaf decoration. Cylindrical standard with 3 globes, the right and left on the ladder rest with scrolled brackets to the standard. An attractive example of historic street furniture. Group value with the town hall which incorporates some fine external metalwork.
