I definitely recognise the first two - they are in the High Street in Standon!

I would guess that your trip included a trip along the Standon Bypass. It's the section of the A10 with the surviving 180w Elecos and almost no casual replacements

Correct! The others were found along the AA walk.  :D

Well didn't need to go up that far - turned off at the ZX3 roundabout just before. Nevertheless I have seen those 180w Elecos many a times - it is always good to see they're still going strong and they look excellent on those columns!

I would pay cash to the owner to keep these things running would like to see these in real life so might be worth a trip in the future!  :)

The other night I went past this incandescent survivor, still glowing inefficiently in a quaint manner.

Pathetic phone pics but I saw this survivor in a derelict garage in Whitwell (nr. Worksop) today and just had to take a picture.

There's a shovelflood on the other side of the building.

Looks like an old Revo lantern and possibly Revo column as well.

Yesterday i was in Bempton, near to Bridlington. Heading towards the RSPB site on the right hand side of the road next to a caravan site is a trianglular CU column sadly no bracket or lantern. As for lanterns the whole village has mercury fittings except some which i belive has MH lamps.

The Filey and Brid area does have a fair amount of mercury still in use. One place I'd like to see is the old abandoned Filey Camp station for the former Butlins... from old pics, it had conctere columns with ring brackets and top entry globes.
