164AF. Stratford Enterprise Park, Timothy's Bridge Road, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire Located at the entrance to the now-demolished Unipart Logistics (and DCS Bibby, prior to that) building, is an 8 m tubular steel column supporting the rear casting of a Thorn Alpha 1 lantern for 90 Watt SOX (low pressure sodium) lamps. The Alpha 1 was not damaged as part of the wider demolition work; Google Street View imagery shows the acrylic 'Opticell' unit has having broken away by 2015, although it was still intact in 2010. Another, wall-mounted example, survived until demolition occurred, however.

The column was positioned alongside the site's former security office, and supports an aerial-like device that led to the office.

A small portion of the Opticell remains attached to the rear casting, while the 'plug' that sealed the Opticell, and contained the lampholder, has rusted.
