Quex View Road is lit end-to-end with these quintessentially rural lamp posts mounted on telegraph poles. The lamp gets its power by a green power box located halfway up the pole, which is triggered and connected to by the photocell on top of the lamp (this is the device that detects low levels of daylight and illuminates the lamp when dusk falls). View taken looking east-southeast towards Quex Park, hence the name of the road.
