1950s - 1960s Fluorescent lanterns & columns Milton Keynes Discovered these photos recently of Milton Keynes back in the day, early 1970s. 17 of these (including what you can see) columns still survive to this day, with only what seemed 7 have been replaced bringing a total of around originally 24 in Simpson Village. These columns were later replaced with GEC Z9538s, although it's possible the fluorescents were replaced to Merc Eleco HW918s before the GECs, since a 1970s development of housing saw hockey cols with HW918s and Merc Globes. Does anyone know what these lanterns are?

1950s - 1960s Fluorescent lanterns & columns Milton Keynes

Discovered these photos recently of Milton Keynes back in the day, early 1970s.

17 of these (including what you can see) columns still survive to this day, with only what seemed 7 have been replaced bringing a total of around originally 24 in Simpson Village. These columns were later replaced with GEC Z9538s, although it's possible the fluorescents were replaced to Merc Eleco HW918s before the GECs, since a 1970s development of housing saw hockey cols with HW918s and Merc Globes.

Does anyone know what these lanterns are?
