4. Industria 2600

Spotted on the 20th June 2004 on a footpath in the Shobnall Recreation Ground, Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire.

What I think happened: This must have been vandalism as the bowl is open and the gear tray has come loose. I couldn't see if the lamp was still intact, but there were a few pieces of glass near the column which would suggest that it isn't. The columns along these footpaths are Stainton drop-downs with extensions welded on to increase the column heights to 6m so climbing them would not be a wise idea, but still someone has done it.

The floodlights are for a nearby running track by the way.
