Viewed from Edward Lane, the dark blue structure is Grade II listed by Cadw, (the historic environment service of the Welsh Assembly Government. Its Cadw reference is 3061, and it is described as "Electricity Transformer at SW end of Graham Street". It is late 19th century, with a circular cast iron case, moulded panel work and decoration. Somewhat surprisingly perhaps, it is topped with a modern street light and it has an identity number similar to ordinary lamp posts nearby. However, my dedication to complete the research did not extend to waiting here (on a day of frequent showers) for sunset, which was more than 6 hours away, to confirm whether or not it is in use a street light.
