YEAR 1980

When I went to BATH for the first time in this year , I noticed all the lamp posts are painted black . This is the same colour as in BRISTOL and WESTON SUPER MARE for their lamp posts .

YEAR 1990s

 In the city centre there is a lot of post top CU PHOSCO P109 lanterns on walls and on posts and there are some post top CU PHOSCO P111 lanterns as well.

YEAR 2002

 I found some 5M metal posts with swan neck brackets . On these posts are top entry REVO LUCIDOR B lantern ( less gear ,35W SOX ) and I think the road name is RUSSELL STREET ? .
