The following photographs were taken on Sunday, 7th November 2010.

The first column from Minster Road supported a remotely-geared Simplex Aries running 35 Watt SOX.

The rest of the columns installed along here were 6 m in height; with most supporting the 55 Watt SOX version of the Aries.

A Philips MI 36 fitted to a newer column followed.

A couple of Thorn Beta 2 lanterns, again fitted to newer columns, provided night-time illumination for the next section of road.

After this brief interlude, the rest of the column saw a return to Aries'.

Looking back the other way reveals that the last new column installed on this road was positioned opposite its outgoing equivalent.
