72AD. Bridge Road, Uttoxeter, Staffordshire Installed approximately half way along this short cul-de-sac is a short cast iron column, probably no taller than about 10 ft (3 m), including the swan neck bracket, and believed to be made by Lucy. Today, the structure supports a top-entry Thorn Beta 5 35 Watt SOX lantern, although of course, this is a later replacement for whatever served as the original lantern, which may have been the only outdoor light on the road until it was supplemented by an 8 m column supporting a Philips Trafficvision as part of road realignments nearby in the 1990s.
The column's limited height is evident here.
The finial style on the swan neck bracket suggests that it is an AC Ford product.
The original inspection door has been replaced with a newer steel equivalent. Unlike the similar Revo and Bleeco columns, the base section is narrower on this column.
