While the square Hayward Prismatic Pavement Lights (patented in 1871) can still be found across Glasgow, Hyatt Lights with their round lenses are an older version, being patented in 1845, and are much rarer.

In fact, the 1854 tobacco warehouse on James Watt Street in Anderston where I took this picture is the only place I've seen them so far in the city.

A Hayward Brothers Prismatic Cellar Light set into the pavement of Sauchiehall Street in the west end of Glasgow. Patented in 1885, the glass prisms mounted in the iron frame shone light into otherwise dark recesses of cellars. This is the most complete one I've found in Glasgow and it has no missing prisms.
