Removal of a 'Canon and Tulip' column from Northwood Street, Stapleford, Nottingham, 2020
The onslaught against our heritage never lets up. Nottinghamshire County Council is just one of many authorities that continue to replace perfectly good and serviceable cast iron street lighting columns, with awful plain steel galvanised columns.
The picture shows the removal of a century old gas column, that had been converted to electric decades ago. Most of these columns go to scrap, as many authorities have a scrap only policy.
