The lines of this building reminded me of a certain record album of mine. I'm sure this is in violation of copyrights... I decided to do it anyway.

Engineers look on as this 65+ year old street light is lit for one last time before being disconnected and the concrete structure removed.
Once a fairly common sight in the Bramcote, Stapleford & Beeston districts of Nottingham, Abbey Road in Beeston was host to the last 'Stanton 7' column in the area that still retained its original sodium lantern and bracket. These concrete columns and brackets had been manufactured at the nearby Stanton & Staveley concrete works in Ilkeston. However, the sodium lantern had been produced in St Albans, Herts by the 'Electric Lighting Engineering Company', better known to many in the industry as ELECO.
Enduring the elements for decades, the top of the concrete column on which the heavy concrete bracket rested had become cracked over time, allowing water ingress and corroding the internal steel joint. As a consequence the column had been condemned by engineers. However, despite the corrosion to the column top, the bracket and lantern remained in exceptionally good order.
Aware of the significance of this old timer, the street lighting authority made a bit of an occasion of its removal, inviting along their own internal press people to record its demise. I was kindly notified by the lighting department, and also attended.
Prior to its removal the street light was lit for one last time allowing for a few photos. Once extinguished the dismantling began. First the lantern and then the bracket were carefully removed, after which most of the onlookers departed, leaving the hi-ab crew and electrical jointers to extract the stub of the column.
The lantern and bracket were saved for posterity, but once removed, the concrete column will have been despatched for crushing into aggregate, and the steel reinforcement extracted for scrap.

Like probably tens of thousands of people before them, these folk are having their photo taken as they traverse the famous Abbey Road pedestrian crossing in St John's Wood, London.
And why not?
Fortunately for them there was a willing volunteer on hand to record the event.

Abbey Road Studios...
Originally a nine-bedroom Georgian townhouse built in the 1830s on the footpath leading to Kilburn Abbey, the building was later converted to flats where the most flamboyant resident was Maundy Gregory. The premises were acquired by the Gramophone Company in 1931 and converted into studios. Pathé filmed the opening of the studios, when Sir Edward Elgar conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in recording sessions of his music.[3][4] The neighbouring house is also owned by the studio and used to house musicians. During the mid-20th century the studio was extensively used by leading British conductor Sir Malcolm Sargent, whose house was just around the corner from the studio building.[5]
It was not until 1970 that the name Abbey Road Studios became official. The Gramophone Company amalgamated with Columbia Graphophone Company to form EMI, which took over the studios and dubbed them EMI Studios. It was under this name that in 1936 cellist Pablo Casals became the first to record Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suites No. 1 & 2 at the behest of EMI head Fred Gaisberg. The recordings went on to spur a revolution among Bach aficionados and cellists alike.[6]
Studio Two at Abbey Road became a centre for rock and roll music in 1958 when Cliff Richard and the Drifters (later Cliff Richard and The Shadows) recorded "Move It" there,[7] and later for pop music as well.
The Beatles' album, Abbey Road, features the Beatles walking across a pedestrian crossing outside the studios.
Abbey Road Studios is most closely associated with the Beatles, who recorded almost all of their albums and singles there between 1962 and 1970. The Beatles named their 1969 album Abbey Road, after the street where the studio is located (the recording studio was named Abbey Road after the Beatles record in 1970). The cover photograph for that album was taken by Iain Macmillan outside the studios, with the result that the zebra crossing outside the studio has become a place of pilgrimage for Beatles fans from all over the world. It has been a long-standing tradition for visitors to pay homage to the band by writing on the wall in front of the building, although it is painted over every three months.[8] In December 2010 the zebra crossing at Abbey Road was given a Grade II listed status.

The Beatles cross Abbey Road.
In the early 1960s, they could have just walked through Gerbergässlein on their way to the Atlantis in Basel. However, according to an old rumor, the Seiler brothers, then owners of the venue, declined a one-week guest performance offer from a Hamburg promoter, opting instead for a proven German entertainment orchestra rather than four unknown guys from Liverpool...

Die Beatles überqueren die Abbey Road.
Anfang der Sechziger-Jahre hätten sie durchaus auch durchs Gerbergässlein spazieren können, auf dem Weg ins Basler Atlantis. Einem alten Gerücht zufolge lehnten die damaligen Besitzer des Lokals, die Gebrüder Seiler, ein einwöchiges Gastspielangebot eines Hamburger Veranstalters jedoch ab und entschieden sich lieber für ein bewährtes deutsches Unterhaltungsorchester als für vier unbekannte Jungs aus Liverpool...

Shout out to my Dad for taking the pictures and doing the edits for me!
we had a Nevada Camera Club Fieldtrip in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.
Walking down Fremont Street there is some very cool wall art of the Abbey Read record art. I always wait across the street and wait for someone to walk into frame. I think the morning light and shadow made for a great image monochrome black and white.

These are from my mom's collection of Beatle buttons from when she was way young. We've collected them from Beatle Fest and whatnot. Yes, my family is Beatle-obsessed =]
So while I was out looking for furniture for the new apartment I ran across this groovy Beatles Abbey Road print.
I bought this album when it was first released in the late '60's.
That is why I couldn't resist.
Besides, the price had been lowered from $62.00 to $35.00.
I bought this and some really good quality estate furniture at Homing Instinct-Feathers For Your Nest, on Gore Street in Perth, Ontario. They have cool stuff!
This follows on from my previous post concerning the removal of the last original and intact Stanton 7 column in the Western districts of Nottingham, where these were once to be seen.
The 7B concrete bracket hangs heavy from the Hi-ab as it is lifted clear of the column before being lowered to the ground. It was surprising how easily the bracket broke free after just a few thumps with a lump-hammer to the column top. In truth, the top of the column was in a far more precarious and weakened state than anyone might have previously thought.
In this view, the lantern has already had its fragile plastic bowl (shade) and lamp removed to prevent breakage during removal.
