Description: | Two Lucy boxes on Waterloo Road at the junction with Newhampton Road East. They were named "Lucy" boxes because the majority of them in the early days, were made by the Lucy Foundry in Oxford. They were initially erected to assist the electricity supply for the tram and trolley bus networks. They did this by providing either a junction for the power supply or an isolator facility. They then became part of the general electricity supply, and were later used for telephone purposes. The one on the left has the Wolverhampton Coat of Arms on it. The one to the right is older. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Subjects: | Metal products Roads Photograph Photographs | Temporal: | [Mid 20th cent] | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
