Yes! I walk past it a few days a week. Did you manage to get the swan neck and/or is it a GEC or AC Ford lamp unit???
The concrete base is still in the ground (as of today), with some black insulation tape holding the gear access cover plate and the usual yellow electrical hazard warning tape wrapped over the cut top. It's been like that since they cut the column and so they really are behind with work - just like you said in your other post with all the great info about Lendal
I guess the new column is going to be a SON just like Flavian Grove round the corner, which got replaced a year or so before the work started on this one I think. I don't know why they haven't put one of the Stella LED heads up like they have used in Fairway, I think they are fabulous.
