As reported by BBC News in the article “Theft of historic street lamps is ‘heritage crime’”, a recent series of thefts in Cambridge has sparked alarm over the disappearance of three Grade II listed Richardson candle street lamps—an act now being investigated as a heritage crime.
These lamps, designed in the 1950s by renowned architect Sir Albert Edward Richardson, are an iconic part of Cambridge’s architectural identity. Based on designs showcased at the 1951 Festival of Britain, the lamps were specially commissioned and have since become part of the city’s visual legacy.
