Yorkshire seems to be a haven for side road fluorescent lighting that this never seems to have caught on down this way apart from West Sussex. This will be changing when the South Coast PFI scheme commences and the Surrey PFI is installing Libras.
I am still stuck with the awful mini Iridiums from the Dorset PFI as Cosmopolis is the way to go here that fluorescent lighting would have been a interesting change however luckily Dorset is next door to Hampshire so I can have a peek at the going ons of the South Coast PFI scheme!
I was intrigued by that pic of a Residium retrofitted on a sleeved concrete column in Barnsley displayed on Claire's Midlands Counties Streetlighting website, that to myself as a Southerner that is a rare sight!
Does anyone know whereabouts in Barnsley that pic is from so I could view this on Street View out of curiosity?
Is there anywhere in Yorks that Residiums are seen fitted on concrete columns?
Is the Leeds PFI installing any mini Iridiums as well?Firstly, Barnsley Residiums on Concretes:
