What is recorded here

The Lamp standard in Kildare belongs to a set of four, each wearing a decorative iron cap. Four matching hats and nobody sitting down: either the town is being lit or the wedding photographer has lost control.

0 / 600

Group of four freestanding cast-iron lamp standards, c.1950, comprising fluted shafts on pedestals having moulded necking surmounted by lamp having decorative iron capping.
This group of cast-iron lamp standards is an example of subtle items of street furniture that are often overlooked, but which are becoming increasingly rare on the streetscape of urban centres. The lamp standards are of some artistic interest, having been designed as aesthetic as well as functional pieces.
