In
these pages you'll find a selection of photographs of various types of
streetlighting pictured in situ. The majority of the images are taken
in and around the West and East Midlands Regions of
the UK, mainly because that's where I've lived all my
life. One
of the first pictures I took of a streetlight was
in 1979, when the local streetlighting department turned
up outside our house to remove a column that had been
damaged in a road traffic accident. In more recent times
I've taken quite a few pictures, as I began to notice
the demise of older streetlighting columns and lanterns from
our towns and cities. Originally these pictures were
taken on colour slide film, but in the last couple
of years I've started to use a digital camera. It is
the pictures from the digital camera that have been
used to construct my website, but I hope to eventually scan in
some of the colour
slides and show them on the website in due course.
The photographs are listed in order of manufacturer,
