50. Bailey and West End Streets, Stapleford, Nottinghamshire. Along these two adjacent streets are some Stanton 7 columns with Shepherd's crook brackets (similar to the one seen in Survivor #35). Most of the columns are sleeved or have modern lanterns fitted but one column on the former street is fitted with an ELECO HW-505 and the latter is fitted with a Simplex Gemini.
The lamp can just be seen - it looks like a GE 35 Watt. There also looks to be a reflector plate above the lamp, which Jeremy's dad's HW 747 does not have.
The lantern has since been removed (December 2006); however, it has been saved into Claire Pendrous' collection.
On to West End Street...
Although the Gemini is top-entry, the original top entry section is not used. This could have been a necessary modification as the angle of the bracket may have stopped the lantern from being able to be fixed into place.
