| Comments: | An odd sight to see in 2016, was this almost completely untouched street of mercury lanterns, which looked to be 1980s/70s Phosco/GEC. Some streets had SOX variants, and the odd cosmo had snuck in as well. |

Good night shot. There's still over a hundred mercury lanterns burning nightly in my part of the country. Just a pity that most needed relamping over a decade ago and are greened out as Æ’uck!

I`d say those near you are past the greened out stage Andy!
