This lamp post is a loner on Shakespeare Road. It is an old GEC (General Electrics Company, a branch of American electronics conglomerate GE) lantern, but I can't remember the product code, and is mounted upon a Stanton and Staveley concrete column. It is also fitted with an anti-glare shield to prevent the light from spilling into the window below. View taken looking west along Shakespeare Road near Birchington railway station.
