36. Occupation Rd, Albert Village, Swadlincote. Along this road is a single Concrete Utilities Estate Minor column with an Arc 3 bracket. This configuration was fairly common due to them both appearing in the same year, 1955. This column is fitted with a Beta 5, and the road is also lit with various 35w and 55w SOX lanterns on steel columns, with no obvious pattern as to which is the definite wattage. Also on this road are Phosco P567s on 6m Fabrikat steel columns - these have only been recently installed. This column is gradually falling into the ditch behind, and a replacement door has been taped on, so it won't be long before the column is removed.
As expected, this column was removed in mid 2004.
