urban exploration: location #1


gec small oxford
I was not surprised to see a GEC Small Oxford lantern on the front wall of this factory as it used to have connections with the firm. But I was pleasantly surprised to find another three mounted to the side of the assembly bays where they used to light the yard. They probably all date from the 1950s.





simplex bulkhead
Although not strictly street lighting, I liked this Simplex bulkhead fitting I found in a small switchgear room.
