either that or a rare GEC

Spotted these along some side roads and the canopies appear to be the same. The bowl on the first one is from a Z5590.

Some great examples of GEC Z5560 type lanterns there.

Indeed, and even rarer with the deep prismatic glass bowl.

Re the pics, is this in Coventry, or somewhere in Warwickshire?

Yup, looks like Coventry. Obvious from the dark green columns, use of mercury lanterns and Streetfighters as casual replacements. This is probably one of the streets just off the Fletchamstead Highway in Stivichall.

It's a pretty horrible retrofit of a Streetfighter there! It looks dreadful, nothing like the lantern which was (probably) before it.

I'm so impressed by how knowledgeable people are on here. It is indeed in Coventry and just off Fletchamstead Highway as well

It's here if anyone wants to know.

That's a nice concrete swanneck in Nick's last link. Shame that it's gonna bite the dust but I can see why due to the spalling. I'm amazed at just how many different types of bowls these lanterns are fitted with.
