Summary[edit]

Description 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.
