Structure
Outside the premises of Mawson, Swan and Morgan, now Waterstone's, stand ten lamp standards (six on Grey Street and four on Hood Street) dating from 1902-4, by W.H. Knowles and T.R. Milburn. Originally constructed as gas lamps in cast iron, with tapering hexagonal fluted shafts, the lights have now been converted - appropriately outside Swan's former building - to electricity.
