Woolwich Common and Ha-Ha (I kid you not) Road - R8

View looking North on Woolwich Common - another "Where's the Police Box" picture (circa 1960) --

Can just see it's windows peeking at you under the big tree on the left --

Street view from about where the c.1960 picture was taken (note that the corner of Ha-Ha and Woolwich Common has changed a lot in the interim) --

The new corner has a bypass where it used to be solid out to the corner with some re-contouring of the curb as well. As a result, using the info from the Met List, it looks like it would have been about here --

Possibly on the left of the entrance to the memorial obelisk.  The original curb was out near the dashed line on the left.
