Four lamp posts c.1920. Granite base with cast iron pylon and details. Fluted cast iron pylon base rests on weathered granite plinth. Tapering square-section latticework pylon with central cartouche is surmounted by a cartouche set between diagonal scrolls supporting a moulded pedestal and a large cuboidal box with chamfered corners and crossed torches moulded on the outer face. Each post has two spherical white lampshades which hang off baluster-like drops from two moulded arms attached to either side of the cuboidal box. The box is surmounted by a small festooned pedestal with cornice and classical finial. The four lamp posts are placed at 45 degrees to the War Memorial (q.v.) and are located at each corner.
