Off the A49, Dorrington, Condover, Shropshire Situated within the forecourt area of a disused petrol station is a short steel pole supporting a small unknown cylindrical lantern, probably designed for multiple 2 ft (600 mm) MCF (linear fluorescent) lamps of either 18, 20 or 40 Watts. The lantern looks to be a shorter version of similar lanterns that were often seen installed around the car parks of 'Little Chef' restaurants, prior to that brand's complete disappearance from the British street scene by 2018 - such lanterns can still be seen, occasionally, in these car parks even now, with the restaurant having been taken over by another operator. These shorter lanterns are much less common, however.

Although the petrol station itself is no longer functioning, a business still seems to be operating from the site, with both the steel pole and the fence behind all being repainted at some point after April 2024. The presence of several solar-powered lights and a bulkhead fitting all attached to the fence suggests that this fitting is no longer in use, however.

Some rather dubious-looking disconnected wiring emerges from just below the lantern, which may have been the means of supplying the fitting, especially in later years, if the original supply cable had failed.

As a bonus, twin square-based columns, both supporting two back-to-back Thorn Precinct fittings, existed beneath the forecourt's canopy, and would have provided localised illumination to the now-removed fuel pumps.

With these Precincts all sporting heavily-yellowed bowls, they are more likely to have each run an 80 Watt MBF (mercury vapour) lamp than a 70 Watt SON (high pressure sodium) lamp. The use of Precincts, which carry no particular Hazardous Area certification whatsoever, is surprising, particularly with their being situated so closely to the fuel pumps.
