Derby's Street Lighting PFI Contract - Uffa Magna, Mickleover

(The name 'Uffa Magna' dates from the days of the Domesday Book - the area now known as 'Mickleover' was once known as 'Ufra Magna'; later this was changed to 'Uffa Magna'. I know because I was there at the time...)

This Thorn Beta 5 (attached to a very angular swan neck bracket) 's bowl would often contain a pool of water towards the rear, particularly after a heavy rainfall. This occurred for as long as I can remember (last Thursday, then...) and probably even beyond that, but never seemed to affect the operation of the lantern.

Curiously, the other Beta 5 did not appear to suffer with the water ingress problem to quite the same extent as the first lantern did.
