51b. A6 Duffield Rd, Allestree. Just after the A38 'Palm Court' roundabout (as it is known locally) were two 135 Watt SOX Revo/Relite Hyperion 'C' lanterns; both of which were fitted to Stewart and Lloyd 10 m columns. There may have been more in the past, but these were later replaced with Philips MA 50s and Thorn Alpha 4s.
In June 2011, both columns were planned for replacement as part of the Street Lighting PFI:
By the time that their removal was inevitable, both lanterns had had their bowls secured with lengths of insulation tape.
This close-up photograph reveals the need to wrap the rear section of the bowl in insulation tape - one of the hinges was damaged.
