P26 was re-sited - to here ? ( removed 11th June 1970 ) ( P18 not listed as re-sited )

I was sent a shot by peterjohn ( hope he posts it here ) of something outside West Wickham library that I didn't think
was a box but I've found an 8mm film of an unknown Mk5

1 min 32s in ( also at 12:06) :


MK5 1968 - 1970:

Amazing That YouTube Video is of Box P26 High Street, West Wickham (resited) [1968]
The second shot (1:32) is the same box at it's original Location!
But I can't find any evidence of a box outside West Wickham Library but it is definitely a Mk5...Isn't  it?West Wickham Library.jpg  :-\

Yes it is a MK5. You can see in the video, the Ford Anglia Panda Car drives right past the library. its the same box as your photo above.

I don't see any shots of a box at P26 original location.

Glebe Way was modified around 1956


Original P26

What a wonderful Film dr hue...Not just the Patched up Police Box but the whole 1968 Scene!
It's hard to believe even all those Schoolgirls are now OAP's!  ;D
The question is...I wonder if there are anymore Gems hidden away on London's Screen Archive?

Bit late to this thread, but if anyone's interested,this is also on the tube of you. So it might be easier to access it on other plaforms.  They also seem to have either given it a new soundtrack or found a better version of the old, but that warbling is gone.
