English Lamp Posts was founded over three decades ago by Clive Knowles, a specialist in metal fabrication. Clive always had a passion for metalwork and was inspired by his father-in-law, Eric Schubert, who started his career working for HS Marston Aerospace in the aptly named Black Country. Manufacturing specialist technical aeroplane components in a career spanning over four decades.  As Clive's experience grew, so did his passion for reclamation and restoration. Spending much of his spare time repairing and restoring period Victorian architectural ironmongery. 

Clive, with guidance and support from Eric, established English Lamp Posts in 1986. 

In 2007, Clive’s son Ben also joined the company, enabling the company to offer its Victorian lighting range and products online. 

The company continues to strive forward with Clive still at the manufacturing helm, ensuring everything the company produces still holds the same level of superior quality as it has for the past 30 years.
