Summary
| Description |
English: Tram Transformer Pillar. Behind the Audenshaw trough 1705778 on the junction of Manchester Road and Audenshaw road is a transformer pillar built about 1900. It is of cast iron and consists of a circular pillar on a 20th century concrete base topped by a street lamp. The face is split vertically into panels and horizontally into three stages. On the front it bears the coat-of-arms of Manchester City Council and a plate records the maker: the British Electric Transformer Company. Another plate records the restoration by Norweb in 1983. Enriched cast iron panels are on the top stage. The conical top is above a bead and reel band. The structure is topped by a hexagonal lamp on a decorative spindle. The concrete base is now topped by wooden seating.
At one time it had three lamps which used to the light the way for trams. |
