Local CU Phosco (Phosware) P109s
This is just one of the Darley Abbey P109s. Even at ground level, these lanterns look enormous!
This dayburning example has lost the copper finial which secures the canopy.
Another Darley Abbey example - this is behind the 'Abbey' public house. The base compartment was rewired in 2003.
This P109 in Buxton is fitted with a SON-I lamp. The refractor ring surrounding the lamp is missing.
This P109 is in the Derbyshire village of Eyam and is mounted to a fluted cast iron column. The bowl has clouded over time.
Again in Eyam is this P109 fitted to a 6m tubular steel column. The finial and decorative latticework are missing.
Up the road from the previous example is this P109 with a clear bowl and more modern refractor. This example is also mounted to a cast iron column.
This P109 is mounted high up on a building. The unique number has been stencilled on the base of the lantern.
