Wednesfield
Broad Lane South, Wednesfield. Concrete columns with a mix variety of lanterns seen here. MA50, Urbis, Holophane QSM, etc. This is just going over the canal bridge.
Broad Lane North, Wednesfield. Concretes on one side of the bridge, and modern columns with LEDs on the other side. Broad Lane South still has a lot of concrete columns, but once you cross the canal bridge and the road becomes Broad Lane North then they're all metal columns now. The prievious street lights along Broad Lane North were concretes too, but they were renewed with whats there now around 2012/2013.

Former bus turning circle, Cannock Road, Underhill Now partly built over in the foreground, this patch of road was once used as a turning circle by trolleybuses (latterly on routes 12 and 13). The destination shown was "Low Hill (Pear Tree)", the Pear Tree being a pub out of frame to the left; nowadays, Low Hill is more associated with the interwar housing estate a mile or two west of here, and in fact the 1950s Underhill estate just reaches Cannock Road here (right). Nowadays, the main bus service along Cannock Road goes into the estate, leaving only the out of town route to Cannock serving this stop.
A460 Roundabout At Newbolds
Just heading out of New Invention, along the A462, main road from Willenhall to Cannock. This is a fairly new column with a Philips Iridium lantern. It was only installed a few months ago.
