The OS Maps:

From 1935 showing the Box's original Site (marked "P.C.B." at centre of extract) --



Note that all the S Division Boxes that were activated in January of 1936 were actually erected in mid-1935, being left standing unused for many months due to issues with the new Ericsson phone systems. That's why it is showing up here on a 1935 map.

From the 1963-1964 map with the resited position necessitated by the enlarging of the old Apex Corner into the new Northway Circus Roundabout (as shown in the above photo) --



The Box's new position is next to the stairway leading down to the passages to the central open area and pedestrian crossing.
