This one of the Remaining original posts.
It was removed for restoration sometime in 2010 or 2011?

At some point in the 1990s it was painted the darker Metropolitan Blue.
It stayed that way until the recent restoration.

I had some business to attend to yesterday in the area and found this police post by St Botolph-without-Aldgate church! Looking at previous photos, it would seem the post has been moved and now sits by the entrance of the church's gardens, but it's still there and still looking fine!
