http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A8zJ72SkFx4/Tsv-nWL1GZI/AAAAAAAAA2U/dV1mmNFbScY/s1600/504.jpgSome of those GEC lanterns that Blackpool used to have on the Prom which lit up in different colours during the Illuminations and on the side street a Revo Sol-e-Tern Junior. I vaguely remember these but they were sleeved and replaced by Beta 79s not long after this picture was taken in 1985.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AJYsFjvscUI/Tr_OhuAz3gI/AAAAAAAAAu8/kTXxOnW5k3I/s1600/1622.jpgThis is another picture of those GEC Z8433/4 cut-off lanterns identified by Claire a while back. These were probably installed due to the proximity of the airport which is further along the road this picture was taken. These were sleeved in the mid 80s and replaced with GEC Z9554Ms (which, interestingly were only semi cut-off as are the current MRL6s).
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9adJ7E2mPuE/Tr_PG3NMf6I/AAAAAAAAAvM/Bbv_lEgFJPk/s1600/899.jpgSome Phosco lanterns (P355s?) in St. Annes Square. Some of these still exist on St. Annes seafront.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-84-TexRgwoU/Tr_RLbhwoQI/AAAAAAAAAvs/ljiMFNjv32s/s1600/893.jpgI really like this photo! Lytham Road in the early 80s with GEC fluorescents. The lantern in the foreground and the one behind it appear to be two different types, a Z8370 and a Z8381 respectively is my guess. Perhaps the Z8370 was a casual replacement, it looks a bit more slimline and 'modern'.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7gEWiTQAmuI/Tr_SQ19KRdI/AAAAAAAAAwU/BJsM4AuaTA8/s1600/861.jpgSame road a year or so later and the fluorescents were all sleeved and replaced with Alpha 3s running SON probably in 1984 by my reckoning.
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kLyivzpKX-E/Tr_Sgqq181I/AAAAAAAAAwc/1DLESYSZb54/s1600/858.jpgGEC Viatrons in the days when buses had conductors and drivers wore hats!
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0dntjkBVc30/Tr_J_606gyI/AAAAAAAAAt8/uKn7RCFwclA/s1600/1717.jpgSome GEC high-masts here. This photo confuses me as it looks like Fleetwood Docks in the background yet the 22A bus route never went to Fleetwood! If it's not Fleetwood then I haven't a clue where it is!
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bGo-FcWPSbc/Tr_LyCtkV1I/AAAAAAAAAus/L5Y7JO6J7qM/s1600/1623.jpgBrill photo giving us another look at those GEC Z8433/4 lanterns seen earlier.
