Derby's Street Lighting PFI Contract

Abbey Lane, Darley Abbey

The equipment being removed consisted of the following items in 1997:

Seq. No. Lamp Number Location Lamp Type Watt Isolation Point
1 22931 OPP BUTCHERS SXPL2 55 Y
2 22932 OS NO 6 SXPL2 55  
3 22933 OS NO 9 SXPL2 55  
4 22934 CNR OLD LN SXPL2 35  

The following photographs were taken on Sunday, 11th March 2012.

By the time these photographs were taken, concrete lighting columns were all but extinct on public roads in Derby; the removal of this unsleeved Stanton 10 saw the already dwindling numbers fall again.

 

The column ended its days supporting a top-entry Thorn Beta 5 35 Watt SOX lantern, complete with veteran 1990s' Sirebeck S300 photocell.

 

The replacement installation came in the form of a SUGG Camberwell mounted post-top to a 5 m specially-made cast iron lighting column. The new lantern runs a 70 Watt CDO-ET lamp.
