And skip forward to a mere three weeks ago for a erratum, box R3 on Woolwich Road. The surroundings have changed quite a bit since the box was in situ. I wasn’t satisfied with the first version of this one and I also placed it too far back from the road.

Skip forward five months to last December and here’s the same site in the snow. In the C19th, St Pancras Station architect William Barlow lived in the Regency house that’s just visible beyond the tree on the right.

Next, what’s now my nearest police box site, box R4 on Charlton Road. The box stood outside the Our Lady of Grace Catholic church from Nov 1934–Sep 1970. The church was only 28 years older than the police box.

Back to scorched Blackheath for this week’s , starting on Tranquil Vale in Blackheath Village, outside of a lovely bookshop. The police box was in operation from Nov 1934 until Aug 1970.

I moved to Blackheath last summer and so here’s a revisit to one of the local police box sites – R7, at the western edge of the heath. Remember how hot last summer was? The heath is usually green.

I tell a lie—here’s another error corrected! I found a map I hadn’t had access to and spotted that I was a few feet out with this one on Painters Road, Aldborough Hatch. How else would I spend the bank holiday than doing a quick trip to Redbridge to right a wrong?

Next, a return to Muswell Hill and its bus terminus police box. I’d gone back to get better photos of the lantern that’s still on the roof to this day, and I don’t think I’ve shared before the new Ghost Monuments I captured at the same time.

…What better way to improve it than to run a three-lane dual carriageway through it?

The errata end with the corrected location of one of the earliest police box sites I captured (and got wrong)! When Peter Davison was growing up in Streatham in the 1950s, Streatham High Road was the busiest shopping street in south London…
