Chalcroft Sidings Disused Lighting
4th May 2008

Within the disused Chalcroft Distribution Park sidings on the railway between Eastleigh and Hedge End in Hampshire, between the Allington Lane and Burnetts Lane bridges, stand some abandoned 1950s relics. There are five old Stanton 6B 25ft arched and finned father and son columns, all fitted with GEC Z9451 140w SO/H lanterns on the large bracket and top-entry tungsten GLS lanterns, probably GEC, on the small brackets.

Three of the Z9451 lanterns appear to be complete, and still retain their bowls. None of the top-entry GLS lanterns retain their bowls. The columns still had control gear in the bases.
