Located on a footpath between the border of Chells and Chells Manor in Stevenage, Hertfordshire the photo shows two Street Lights one old and one new. The old Street Light (Left) has been disconnected since 2017 and is a Philips MI50 Lantern which was manufactured sometime between the late 1970s to early 1980s making this specific Lantern at least 40 Years Old. The Philips MI50 has a SOX Bulb inside it which would have used to light up a Orange characteristic glow at nighttime, in 2017 the entire footpath of 15 Street Lights were replaced by Urbis Ampera LED Lanterns however this one particular Lantern (Number 13) was not removed when the Urbis Ampera LED one was installed and connected.
