92A. Off Hollybrook Way, Heatherton, Littleover Located in the car park of the Hollybrook Public House are several 5 m sheet aluminium columns, with two of these supporting Siemens / WRTL PTBT (the descendent of the GEC Z5713) post-top lanterns. The remaining columns may have been fitted with the same originally, but now accommodate twin floodlights; presumably, for improved lighting in the car park. The pub opened in the late 1990s / early 2000s, but because of the anti-corrosion properties of the columns, they could be mistaken for being far newer.

This example is situated near to the car park entrance. A floodlight is installed a short distance below the lantern.

The lanterns exhibit signs of lichen growth on their canopies, but the paint has not faded too heavily. As would be expected, the bowl has yellowed slightly, though as the lantern runs an elliptical high pressure sodium (SON-E) lamp, the yellowing is not as severe as it would be with a mercury vapour (MBF) lamp.
