Known as a Lucy Box (after the Oxford foundry where most of them were made), they are usually cuboid in shape, but every now and then you comes across one of these cylindrical ones.

I love the different fonts used on this box, particularly the Art Nouveau ATE logo and the Art Deco Electo-Matic brand name.

It would have provided an electrical connection to the overhead wires that powered them. The smaller box on top contained a telephone to allow the driver or the conductor to check in with the tram depot.

The weird thing is that the lamp would most likely have been operated by the Corporation's Lighting Department, which usually had their own similarly branded Lucy boxes.
