Local Urbis Cabrios

Urbis Cabrios started to appear in Derby in late 2008, initially to compliment the modern appearance of the newly landscaped 'Cathedral Green' area and later to relight the section of London Road in Alvaston adjacent the main shopping area. The main road Cabrios are each fitted with two Cosmo-White lamps (either 90W or 140W) although unlike the twin-lamp Atlas Alpha 8s used in Derby in days gone by, I do not think that the lanterns are wired in such a way that one lamp extinguishes at midnight until early morning.

This Cabrio (avec pigeon) is one of several installed on Full Street, adjacent the Cathedral Green area. Incidentally the 'Derby Rocket' carbon arc column is located to the left of where these photographs were taken from.
