  1. The #GhostMonuments 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…

  2. Next week, one more Streatham box and then to Blackheath. Until then, here’s where you can find the Lambeth boxes on my website. ghostmonuments.co.uk/lambeth

  3. Finally, to the land of Yetis on the loo: Tooting Bec. The first time around (possibly not wanting to contend with the post-production challenge 😅), I placed the police box closer to the road. Instead, the site is now lurking in the bushes.

  4. Next, to Streatham Hill at the junction with Christchurch Road for another mistake caused by road widening. Not understanding the map tool well enough, I placed this one on the pavement the first time around. In fact, the site is now in the middle of the enchanting dual carriageway.

  5. Next, to Tulse Hill where the road *has* widened in the last 50 years 😒. I placed the police box on the pavement the first time around, but its former site is actually now at the edge of the road. The bank building outside of which it used to stand now sells sash windows.

  6. We’re in Herne Hill, outside the gates of Brockwell Park, to begin this week’s #GhostMonuments errata. The first time, I foolishly imagined the gates were in the same place 50 years ago. They were not. However – for once – it’s the pavement that’s widened and not the road 🥰.

  7. Finally to Peckham Rye for another box where I was out by a few feet. I was again accosted by someone wanting to talk to me about cameras while taking these photos, after having flown under the radar for most of the project!

  8. Next, to Brockley for a police box on Crofton Park Road where, again, I was out by a few feet the first time around. I always like the ones that were in residential settings. Imagine having one on your street! 😍

  9. Next, to Sydenham Hill near the Horniman Museum for a box that I positioned incorrectly by a few feet. On the cycling excursions to visit police box sites, I was always defeated by this hill on the return journey to Crystal Palace!

  10. Some photos I took yesterday from One Tree Hill in Greenwich Park of London and Greenwich lit by the setting sun.

  11. Went on the Shepherd's Bush #HiddenLondon tour today. You explore the old tunnels and lift shafts that were superseded when escalators were installed in the late 1930s (see the substructure of the escalators in the second pic). More photos on Flickr: flic.kr/s/aHBqjAsMoQ

  15. Some photos from a sunny, winter walk along the North Downs Way yesterday from Gomshall to Dorking.

  16. Belated #Introduction post! 👋 I'm Paul, a first-generation Nottinghamian of NW English+🇮🇪+🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 stock, who's lived in London now for 22 years. Live in SE London with my partner of 26 years, Alastair (@allylaing on 🐦). Work in MarComms. I'm a keen photographer, a nerd (#DoctorWho in particular, but also #StarTrek and lots of other #GenreTV and #ClassicTV), and a passionate fan of #ClassicFilms. Dr Who + my 📷 hobby led to #GhostMonuments, my photo project reinstating #PoliceBoxes around London. 🏳️‍🌈 🇪🇺

  17. The Ring of Brodgar for #StandingStoneSunday.

    We had the stones to ourselves as the sun slowly set, casting raking light across the stones. It's one of my favourite memories, it was so utterly beautiful and tranquil.

  18. We eventually get back on the map in this week’s #GhostMonuments, but we start with an uncharted police box site in Hayes, just north of Hayes & Harlington station at the junction of Station Road and Clayton Road.
