As promised, here's pics of York's last P106's. And, unless notified otherwise, I am led to believe these may be the last P106's in the UK.
The single one in Strensall - the skywinder job:
- it's the only opaque bowl one left - so hopefully I'll obtain it.
Haxby next...
Greenshaw Drive, near Glebe Way
At Greenshaw Drive between Wheatfield Lane and Holly Tree Lane stand three forgotten mercury lanterns in a row. This GEC Z5674 is the first of the three. The bulk replacement in Haxby was apparently finished in March 2010 - so these lanterns must have not been on the inventory. In the background, a P106 can be seen - which is shown in the second image below...
Third in this line of forgotten lanterns, this P106 stands at the junction of Greenshaw Drive and Holly Tree Lane. I couldn't hang around for a zoom-in, because some bloke was having a smoke outside the front of his house (quite what was wrong with the back, I don't know), and he was giving me funny looks.
The last of the forgotten P106's in Haxby. This one will have been forgotten because nobody saw it! It is situated on the edge a random and rather pointless patch of grass (only really just big enough for people to let their dogs poop on!) in a triangle between Ploughlands, Ryemoor Road, and Long Furrow. Notice the comedy hole in the hedge that is supposed to allow access to the column door!
So that's it - just these four left... out of Hundreds that were in use this time last year (possibly even over a thousand)
