Urbis Sutton Lantern Installations

These are one of the less common heritage lanterns out there. they were very similar in visual design to the Lancaster by DW Windsor. They differ from Urbis' Abbey lantern as they lack a decorative finial, and have a more angular canopy. They could run high-pressure sodium or metal halide lamps, but it's unknown why they were discontinued.

A large number of these exist around Stapenhill Gardens, with prismatic optics (also seen in the ZX1).

This is an example along the same pathway; it looks like it could do with a wipe down!

The residents of this park looked quite bewildered at the strange hand-held device, or more likely, they were interested in the food I was holding!

Another example on the adjacent hill:

The canopy is not shut properly, and what looks to be some photocell or lamp wiring is trapped.

This Sutton is located on one side of a footbridge over the A5189. This is where the prismatic examples end, and some Suttons with open-reflector optics are installed on the other side instead.

These lanterns are fitted with 70W CDO-TT lamps, and minicells. This is the example on the other side of the previously mentioned footbridge, the next two photos taken from an angle where both of these components are visible.
