The following photographs were taken on Saturday, 27th November 2010.

A Simplex Aries was first from Franchise Street.

This was followed by a GEC Z9532.

A pre-1981 Thorn Beta 5 was next.

Another Aries could be seen across the road.

Nearby, a newer Beta 5 was installed on a Fabrikat mid-hinged column at the entrance to a footpath.

A GEC Z5698U existed in an open area:

More Z5698Us lit some nearby walkways. Sadly, all but one of them had had their bowls holed by airgun pellets.

The smashed remnants of a previous lamp still looked to be scattered about at the bottom of the bowl in this lantern:
