As part of their Golden Jubilee celebrations in 1974, Concrete Utilities founded a museum devoted to street
lighting. Local authorities were invited to donate columns, brackets and lanterns; manufacturers offered archival material.
By 1980, the collection had grown, and exhibits could be found all over Concrete Utilities' sprawlling
Ware headquaters.
In the 1990s, the company sold off part of their land for development, and moved into their smart, new offices. Part of the
collection also moved with them, and their antique lighting equipment is now clustered around the main building and in the car park.
