Saracen Foundry Cast Iron Lampost Base

3D Model

One section of the beach promenade at Boscombe, Bournemouth, UK, features some very handsome cast iron lamposts. I thought they might have been made at the Dorset Foundry like this street lamp, but a closer look at the base (and some time deciphering the text hidden under many thick layers of paint) revealed “Walter MacFarlane &co. Saracen Fuundry Glasgow”.

A bit more info about the foundry can be found on good ol’ wikipedia:

MacFarlane, with partners Thomas Russell and James Marshall, incorporated W MacFarlane & Co. Ltd in 1850. They took over a foundry works in Saracen Lane, behind the Saracen Head Inn, in the Gallowgate. […] the works closed and the infrastructure demolished in 1967 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saracen_Foundry
