Triple lamp standard approx 25
metres to west of south-west tower
GV II
Lamp standard with triple head. c1900, signed Geo Smith & Co.
Sun Foundry, Glasgow. Cast-iron on stone base.
A cylindrical moulded base rises from and is in part enclosed
by a stepped stone base with bevelled top: this carries a
lofty slender tapered and banded shaft, with a fluted lower
section and some palmate enrichment, to a moulded capital with
a cross-arm to floriate scrolls and 3 overthrow arms to banded
cylindrical pendant lamps with wide flared hood, and a
hemispherical glass lamp protector. The overthrows are
supported on and surmounted by thin wrought-iron scrolls,
rising as a crowning pinnacle. The base has an applied cast
plaque in honour of a former Dean, Patrick Mitchell.
The standard was probably originally gas lit but has been
changed to electricity. It is similar to, but not identical
with, a standard in the Market Place (qv), and appears in a
photograph of 1905.
A fine example of C19 street furniture.
