Local Urbis Calypsos

Urbis Calypsos are rare in Derbyshire - they can only be seen in Derby's 'Osnabrück Square' - the area named after the town in Germany to which Derby is twinned. Two lanterns are fitted to each column and a single photocell is fitted between the two. The columns themselves are the Urbis 'Maddison' type and were installed in the mid 1990s when the area was redeveloped.

These Calypsos are positioned parallel to the constantly-busy Corporation Street. Derby's elegant Council House can be seen in the background.

An almost identical installation here - except that a standard tubular steel column has been used instead of the Maddison. Notice the Schreder disc lantern in the background.
