Hopefully I should have my camera back in action by Monday so I can get the pic's. Some lanterns down there run MBF and some / most have broken refractors which have oddly enough yellowed. |

Managed to get the camera working again so I have managed to get some snaps of the hidden Leeds gas lamps in the city centre. Just off Lands Lane, the alleyway leads down to The Ship. Some of the gas lamps work with some kitted out with MBF versions of the Sugg gas lamp. Not in any particular order but one shows a day burning MBF lamp, another shows the gas lamp wall mounted head on, one is a side view of the previous lantern and another shows the full alleyway.

I've found some gas lanterns in Nottingham. On the other side of the wooden gate as seen in GSV on Lenton Road, there's at least eight of them. |

That whole estate by the castle is lit by gas. There are loads of gas lights. It looks very quaint at night. |
