The following photographs were taken on the 7th March 2010.

This Thorn Beta 5 replaced a Philips MI 26 in the early 2000s; the MI 26 having itself replaced a Thorn Beta 7 in the mid-1990s.

This 1980s' Beta 5 must have been an early Beta 7 replacement:

The next set of photographs are taken on Lambrook Close.

This Beta 5 attached to a Fabrikat 5 m base-hinged column is on the footpath located adjacent the Vicarage Road Recreation Ground. Back in 1982, a Thorn Gamma 5 35 Watt SOX post-top lantern was located here, along with on many of the footpaths on the estate; click the link to see a photograph taken at the time - the column fitted with the Gamma 5 is at the position of the Beta 5 in the background, by the trees.

Looking back towards Glenfield Crescent, the first Iridium visible is fitted with the same 'wide' optic seen on the lantern on Brunton Close. A column opposite the example in the photograph is similarly equipped.
