The following photographs were taken on Saturday, 19th September, and Monday, 28th September 2015.
Several Beta 2s can be seen along the cul-de-sac part of this road (access onto the adjacent Warwick Avenue having been removed many years ago).
Looking the other way, and a couple more installations can be glimpsed.
Only the fitting of a Royce Thompson SC1000 photocell; the type used initially after the PFI had commenced, to this lantern, shows the passage of time.
