Derby's Street Lighting PFI Contract

Limes Avenue, Mickleover

The columns being removed on this road were:

Seq. No. Lamp Number Location Lamp Type Watt Isolation Point
1 90612 FP BETWEEN NOS 5/9 SXPL3 35  
2 90613 OPP NOS 15/17 SXPL3 35  
3 90614 F/PATH O/S NOS 21/22 SXPL3 35  

The following photographs were taken on Sunday, 11th April and Sunday, 18th April 2010. Not all of the columns here are under the ownership of the Street Lighting department - some are owned by the Housing Association, and thus will probably not be removed under the PFI.

The first column ended its days with a Thorn Beta 5 fitted. A GEC Z5698U would have been installed here originally.

One of the new columns was installed further down the footpath from the previous installation:

Another column supporting a Beta 5 was visible near its replacement. This Beta 5 is likely to be original to the column.

A sole-surviving Z5698U existed on the footpath leading to The Hollow.

Another column was also installed on the footpath. This supported a Thorn Gamma 6 lantern. The use of an unpainted column here signifies that this installation belongs to the Housing Association.

An identical installation existed at the other side of the parking area:
