This was missed out of the replacement scheme on this road which originally was home to 11-odd Phosco P222s on the 'Chunky' columns, which were replaced with Beige Steel Pole Columns with Flat Bowl Iridiums. The reason is at the time the post had scaffolding over it and so it could not be replaced, since it is a narrow pavement and the scaffolding took up a bit of room.
I am curious about this road - I pass through it on foot Thursday afternoons, after my only lesson. The chunky columns stop
here, there is a few odd columns
here and then there is a whole row of
these ,expect for
these (2 further up). I reckon the deep bowls were replacements for the Z9580s on Chunky Columns, then they just stopped suddenly.
It looks then as if when the replacement van comes round this area, they will just replace the chunky posts rather than the steel, since steel columns seem to be abandoned these days when the replacement time has come, it used to be that if there is a larger ratio of concretes (or chunkies in this case) to Steel Columns, then both types would get replaced, with the ones replacing steel not being painted, and the others being painted Beige.
