This website focuses on My Collection of Streetlighting Lanterns, that I have aquired over the last 25 years. It chiefly documents my own collection of Street Lanterns wether it is a Vintage 1930s E.S.L.A. Side Road lantern for use with a common Filament lamp through to a Modern Philips Traffic Vision Motorway Lantern for use with a 400w SON-T Plus High Pressure Sodium Lamp.

I also have a Wardle Liverpool which was the first ever Sodium Cut off Lantern developed with conjunction of Liverpool City Council and Wardle Engineering Ltd in 1933 for the Early 140w SO/H Sodium Lamps, and also a Unknown Lantem, which were popular in Liverpool and I have no information on, or I cannot Identify.

Here you see two first Sodium lighting Installations in the mid 1930's

1st are Wardle Liverpool's on CU Avenue 3D Concrete Columns with Arc 1 Brackets on Cooper Avenue Liverpool,

2nd are Wardle Liverpools Installed on Catenary Wire Systems on Queen's Drive Liverpool,

Here you see a restored 1930's Wardle Liverpool Street Light
