The following photographs were taken on Saturday, 19th September 2015.
The road is lit with gear-in-head Philips MA 90 90 Watt SOX lanterns attached to 8 m columns.
Royce Thompson Monostar 1000 photocells are fitted to all of the MA 90s.
Although the street lighting probably existed on site by the time that the above inventory records were last used for Derby's street lighting (BT chambers in the footway state '1995' as their year of manufacture), it was perhaps still awaiting adoption by the Local Authority at the time.
After around 20 years' service (by the time that these pictures were taken), the GRP lantern canopies are being to look somewhat weathered.
Contrary to the wattage stated for the single installation that exists on the footpath to Fox Street, a Philips XGS 103 35 Watt SOX lantern is fitted to a 5 m Fabrikat base-hinged column. A Royce Thompson Oasis 2000 photocell is fitted here.
