Derby's Street Lighting PFI Contract

Drysdale Road, Mickleover

The columns being removed on this road were:

Seq. No. Lamp Number Location Lamp Type Watt Isolation Point
1 27015 OS NO 1 SXPL3 35  
2 27016 OS NOS 7/9 SXPL3 35  
3 27017 O/S NOS 15/17 SXPL3 35  
4 27018 OS NO 14 SXPL3 35  
5 27019 OS NO 22 SXPL3 35  

The following photographs were taken on the 4th April 2010 - Easter Sunday.

As with most of the installations on the 'Silverhill' Estate, many of the outgoing columns supported Philips MI 26 lanterns, following conversions from 80W MBF in the 1990s.

A Thorn Beta 5 can be seen on the left; this would have replaced a failed MI 26 in the early 2000s.

No, this installation was not possessed by some supernatural being living in the evergreen tree - this is actually what happens when rain lands on your camera lens and you don't realise at the time!

The new columns are approximately 8M in above-ground height.
