Much of Bath's Georgian architecture and picturesque landscapes have provided backdrops for several cinematic masterpieces and TV shows. This added to the importance of preserving heritage charm in Bath & North Somerset's latest LED lighting upgrade at the iconic Gravel Walk.

Gravel Walk is one of Bath's most famous walks (and can be spotted in the Netflix series Persuasion). Built in 1771, the wide gravel-covered walkway links the Royal Crescent and the Circus with Queen Square, which sits further down the hill. Known as a lover's lane in Jane Austen's era, the path was a route for sedan chairs heading to and from the town centre.

Bath & North East Somerset Council identified Gravel Walk as a location for transitioning the existing SON and SOX lanterns to LED lighting as part of a wider upgrade scheme.

To help the council maintain the heritage charm of this iconic location, Acrospire suggested replacing the existing SON and SOX lamps with Its budget-friendly 3000K Streetcare heritage lanterns.

'Streetcare helped us transition to LED in the most affordable way,' said Stephen Burrell.

The luminaires were specified with leaf embellishments to give a classic look fitting to the city's Georgian architecture and scenic surroundings.

Crafted using locally sourced materials in the UK, Streetcare offers exceptional quality and durability and contributes to a reduced carbon footprint.

Stephen Burrell, Principal Engineer Street Lighting at Bath & North East Somerset Council commented, 'Streetcare helped us transition to LED in the most affordable way. The luminaires ticked many of our boxes, providing efficient performance, styling that befitted the area, and responsibly sourced materials. They look as if they have always been there.'
