Falks Beaufort 3 Lantern Installations

Originally from the 1950s, Beaufort 3s were decently populous back in the day, nowadays not so much, but many remain. This type was wall-mounted, as opposed to the post-top versions. These lanterns could run 100W-200W GLS lamps, thus, they never needed a gear.

These two Falks Beaufort 3s are located just off Foundry Lane. It is understood that they are no longer in service, owing to SON bulkhead replacements nearby.

The first of these has had it's cover fall loose, now resting on the metal rods that make up the skeleton of the lantern. Poking out is the GLS lamp within. It can be assumed the other one still has it's lamp too.

The second lantern is situated adjacent to the other one. This one still has it's cover attached.
