GV II

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).
