The following photographs were taken on the 4th April 2010 - Easter Sunday.
A GEC Z9532 was first from Kipling Drive.
Another Z9532 was next in line:
A GEC Z5698U lit the footpath between Blencathra Drive and Pillar Court. The lantern was attached to an Abacus raise-and-lower column.
Another Z5698U was installed adjacent the crater that is intended as an overflow drain. In all the time I have known this excavation, I have never known it to contain any significant amount of water at all! It does make a good spot for sledging in snowy weather, however!
Another Z5698U was installed at the end of this part of the road until about 2005, when the column was accidentally knocked by a vehicle. A replacement CU column painted a hideous nonstandard (for Derby) colour and fitted with a WRTL Arc lantern soon appeared in its place:
Z9532s were used along the rest of the road:
