The following photographs were taken on the 4th April 2010 - Easter Sunday.

The first outgoing column from Ladybank Road (Rothwell Road end) supported a Philips MI 26 lantern - one of many installed on this estate following conversions from 80 Watt MBF in the 1990s.

Around the corner, an interesting arrangement of safety barriers could be witnessed - the excavations for the new columns meant that the footway was blocked in two places. Temporary 'diversions' around these obstructions were marked with a second layer of barriers that acted as a partition between pedestrian and vehicular traffic...when present!

Turning to face the other way, another set of barriers could be seen:

Travelling past Drysdale Road, an MI 26 sporting a cable-tied bowl could be glimpsed.
