Local Philips SGS 204s

The SGS 204 was used in Derby as a replacement for failed Alpha 3s in the late 1990s. Both 250w and 400w SON-T examples can also be seen on the Uttoxeter New Road and Manor Road junction but apart from that, it is not (to my knowledge) used anywhere else in this area.

This 250w example is on an 8m Stewart and Lloyd column which would originally have supported an Alpha 3.

This 400w example is on the Morledge Derby's city centre. It is fitted to a column which would originally have supported an Atlas Alpha 8; then in later years another Alpha 3. A blanking cell is fitted as the lights here are all group-switched. The photograph was taken from the roof of the adjacent Cock Pitt car park - an excellent vantage point for taking photographs overlooking the city!

This 400w example - this time on Cathedral Road - would also have been a replacement for an Alpha 3 at some point - though I would think that the Alpha 3 in question was the original lantern to be fitted to this column as there is only a single door in the base.
