SO9521NE TRAFALGAR STREET 630-1/18/969 (West side) 14/12/83 'Dragon and Onion' lamp post behind No.33 Imperial Square (Formerly Listed as: TRAFALGAR STREET 2 "Dragon and Onion" Lamps behind Nos.23 and 33 Imperial Square)

GV II

Lamp post. First lit 6 February 1897. Probably designed by the Borough Engineer, Joseph Hall and cast by Messrs McDowell, Stevens and Company Ltd, London and Glasgow. Cast-iron. Bollard with half-bollards with shields and the town's motto 'Salubritas et Eruditio'. Arched lamp-holder and dragon infill with crowning onion finial. Intended for electricity and thus an early and remarkably elaborate example of its type. HISTORICAL NOTE: cost »9.15s.0d. The motif is taken from the coat of arms of the borough, granted to the town 11 years after its incorporation in 1876. There are other examples of the type in Cambray Place (qv), St Mary's Churchyard, Church Street (qv), Regent Street (qv) and Trafalgar Street (qv). (Chatwin A: Cheltenham's Ornamental Ironwork: Cheltenham: 1975-1984: 67).
