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

Seq. No. Lamp Number Location Lamp Type Watt Isolation Point
1 6790 OPP NO 8 SXPL2 35  
2 6791 OS NOS 16/18 SXPL2 35

7 6796 ON FOOTPATH O/S NO 53 SXPL1 35  

The following photographs were taken on Sunday, 7th November 2010.

The first, second and third outgoing columns supported remotely-geared Simplex Aries 35 Watt SOX lanterns at the time of removal.

A Thorn Beta 5 followed; this would have replaced a failed Aries at some point.

A second, albeit deep-bowled Beta 5 marked the opening of the footpath to Minster Road.

The Beta 5 was fitted with a late 1990s' Royce Thompson Oasis 2000 photocell.

Another shallow-bowled Beta 5 could be seen fitted to a Fabrikat mid-hinged column on the adjacent footpath.

GEC Z5698U post-top lanterns made up the other two lanterns installed on the footpath. Both were fitted to Abacus base-hinged columns.
