sps1955's photos with the keyword: Cast iron

Cast iron structure in Friar Gate, apparently a transformer box dating from 1893 ( www.derby.gov.uk/media/derbycitycouncil/contentassets/doc... ). According to this page it was for the electric tram service, but www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1705872 says it was for an electric lighting scheme, and this seems more likely to be correct if the dates given by www.oldderbyphotos.co.uk/derby-days-gone-by are to be trusted - this page says that Derby got its first electric street lights in 1894 but did not get its first electric tram until 1904.

1878. Built by Andrew Handyside and Co, Ironfounders of Derby, for the Great Northern Railway. The "buck in a park" is the emblem of the borough of Derby. List description: list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1216461 . The netting is apparently intended to prevent pieces of the ironwork falling into the street: www.flickr.com/photos/99112770@N00/5178510034/in/set-7215... .
