Elderly lamp post, Aigburth, Liverpool

Liverpool used to have some of the most fascinating and individually styled street lighting in the UK. The city was an early proponent of sodium street lighting as well as concrete posts. I think all the main road items have gone but some side streets still have delights such as this possibly 1930s style column in concrete with a delightful post monted socket and integrated control box. The sodium lantern (and indeed the bracket) are late conversions. The monumental post with the concrete encased ladder bracket, is, I think, by Concrete Utilities.
