Our Electric Avenue Lamps are named after Electric Avenue, a street name which houses Brixton market. Electric Avenue was opened as a prestigious shopping street in 1888, the first such to be lit by electricity, from a coal-fired generator behind one of the shops. Brixton was developing rapidly as a shopping destination during the 1880s, with the Bon Marche and other department stores attracting shoppers from a wider area by train and tram. Its distinctive feature was glazed cast-iron canopies over the pavements in front of the shops, so shoppers were protected from the rain. The electric lamps were suspended from the canopies.
