Regularly placed around the outside of this prominent building overlooking the docks, below the town on a flat site near Castleisland point.
Exterior

Cast iron lampstandards, the design of which is swept out towards panelled base. Art-Nouveau leaf-like detail to the top of the circular stem where the curved lamp bracket projects. One of the lampstandards to the rear has lost its bracket.
