Since my childhood spent in East Northants I have always had an interest in streetlighting and took a keen interest in watching the rapid demise of the old GLS and MBF lanterns that were being replaced with SOX during the early 1980's, generaly I prefer the older designs of Lanterns though not exclusively. This site is devoted mainly to older lanterns with some exceptions. I am not currently a collector but do love to see older lamps in situ and still in use.

The photogalleries contain many photos of lanterns, most of which survive, though for how long is unknown, in the short time this site has been running replacement has already taken place of several examples shown on this site.

I hope you enjoy the site, please feel free to contibute with comments or pictures to the email address on the Contacts page.
