23. Revo 'Moseley' Column Spotted on Sunday, 28th June 2009 on New Road in Darley Abbey Old Village.
What I think happened: The cast iron column was probably damaged in a collision at some point; whatever the case, only the base (wrapped in safety tape and topped off with a cone) remains. A new 5m tubular steel column has been installed alongside, along with a secondhand Iridium. I really hope that this arrangement is temporary as the replacement installation is totally out of keeping with the area; not to mention that the road is within a Conservation Area and within the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
