The installation is in excellent condition, with no sign of any cracking occurring at the joint between the column and the bracket.

The lantern's glass bowl was hanging slightly ajar on the day of photographing, although, as the lantern interior still appears to be relatively clean, this probably occurred recently.

The column is situated on a rather sharp bend in the cul-de-sac.

The porcelain terminal block is visible within the lantern, along with an asbestos-sheathed wire leading to the lampholder.

The cable clamp (also porcelain) is visible here.

Judging by the awkward bend at this point, I would say that this part of the road was, itself, part of the Old Malvern Road originally, but became part of Powyke Court Close when the new, straighter road was constructed alongside.

The GEC logo is just about visible on the domed lantern canopy.

Newer 10 m tubular steel columns are installed on the main road.

Annoyingly, the bowl isn't quite open sufficiently for the lamp to be glimpsed.

The bowl comprises a refractor pattern that the GEC used for many of its mercury lanterns.

The bracket features a 500 mm outreach.

The unique 'drop-latch' style of locks that are employed to Concrete Utilities' columns were marketed as an 'anti-vandal' solution; however, they were almost too effective for their own good, with many present-day street lighting engineers not knowing the process by which to open them. This could be the reason for the insulation tape securing the door here, as the lock may have been damaged accidentally during a repair visit, or purposefully if the engineer did not have a drop-latch key to hand.

Newer column doors saw "Concrete Utilities Ltd" changed to the CU Phosco logo. Additionally, the option of conventional tri-head door locks was introduced as well.
