The following photographs were taken on the 4th April 2010 - Easter Sunday. The outgoing columns had all been removed by Friday, 23rd April 2010.

Unique on (but not to) this estate was this top-entry Thorn Beta 5 fastened to a side-entry-to-top-entry converter bracket.

Returning to lanterns of a side-entry configuration, a Philips MI 50 was the second lantern seen along the road.

The column in the foreground here supported a side entry Beta 5; the installation probably dating from the mid 1990s. A GEC Z9532 on a 1970s/80s column can just be seen further along the road, as can a shadow of a new Philips Iridium on the blue garage in the background:

Two new columns straddled another column supporting a Z9532:

A 35 Watt integrally-geared Simplex Aries lantern was next:

A new mid-hinged column was installed at the entrance to the footpath leading to Stanage Green:

Back on the main carriageway, another column fitted with an Aries was seen:

The footpath located adjacent the first Aries seen on this page was lit with Philips XGS 103s on 5 m mid-hinged columns in about 2003; these lamps are therefore not listed on the above inventory list. When new, Royce Thompson Oasis 2000 photocells were fitted to the lanterns; these were subsequently replaced with the PFI's 'standard' cell - the Royce Thompson SC1000. A new 6 m mid-hinged column supporting an Iridium was installed on the section of footpath between the Aries and the first XGS 103:

Of course, the XGS 103s were to disappear under the PFI:

The third and final XGS 103 linked into the lighting on Brierfield Way.

One footpath column that had been installed for longer than the XGS 103 columns originally supported a GEC Z5698U, however, this was damaged in June 2006, and a WRTL Arc subsequently installed in its place.
