Five years ago today, I embarked on a project to create photo composites placing police boxes back in their former locations across London and the Home Counties, which I called ‘Ghost Monuments’ – here are some of my favourites and here’s my website with the rest! https://www.ghostmonuments.co.uk/
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.

June 2019 onwards Photo composites to rematerialise the lost Metropolitan Police Boxes of London.
Here’s where you can find the Charlton Road and Woolwich Road ones. https://www.ghostmonuments.co.uk/greenwich
Here’s where you can find the Tranquil Vale box on my website. https://www.ghostmonuments.co.uk/lewisham
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.
