With thanks to Thos Ribbits for pointing me in the direction of the video that this comes from (https://youtu.be/_Izqdy_nV_g), here's 1960s footage of police box S23 on Spur Road, near the junction with Stonegrove, Stanmore. #PoliceBoxes

Watched and really enjoyed 1964's 'The Leather Boys' the other night, with its surprisingly sympathetic depiction of a gay character. HOWEVER, the main thing to note is that you catch a glimpse of police box V26 on Haydons Road, Wimbledon.

The angels have the phone box.

Dangit – forgot to include this random one from a day in Hampstead and Highgate last October. Another #GhostMonument of police box Y25 on Hampstead Lane, near the eastern exit of Kenwood House at the top of Hampstead Heath. It was in operation from 1 Apr 1934–19 Oct 1970.

Here’s where you can find the Charlton Road and Woolwich Road ones. https://www.ghostmonuments.co.uk/greenwich

And skip forward to a mere three weeks ago for a #GhostMonuments 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.

Back to Tranquil Vale for another snowy police box site.

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 #GhostMonuments, starting on Tranquil Vale in Blackheath Village, outside of a lovely bookshop. The police box was in operation from Nov 1934 until Aug 1970.

Next week, sunshine and snow. Until then, here’s where you can find the Streatham box on my website https://www.ghostmonuments.co.uk/lambeth

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 #PlattyJoobs 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?
