GEC Z9539 Lantern Installations

The GEC Z9539 was the top-entry, integral-geared, 55W version in the GEC Nightwatch series. They could only ever have canopies composed of aluminium as GRP would not be able to take the weight of a geared top-entry lantern! Oddly, despite being longer, they still use the gear-tray from the shorter 35W version (Z9533).


Burnaston

Edmund's Square is home to two GEC Z9539 lanterns. This is part of the former Pastures Hospital grounds, where these properties would have housed workers.
