I just saw this box (the first one at the beginning of this thread) reported as sighting on someone's facebook (they were posting it on a Doctor Who group publically)
Looks likes its moved!

I assume it's already been noticed before by others, but this is probably the best place to put this since there's no other topic for Hastings boxes.
This is what I believe is the box at St. Leonard's Gardens in Hastings (a box mentioned earlier in this thread):
As expected, not a Met-type box. Since the "Hastings Met box" (speculated to be at Alexandra Park gate) has basically been debunked already, it's probable that it was a box of this design too.

Wondering if "Tina Onions" is P35 Sydenham Hill, east side 15 yards south of London Road
Southern Electric Lordship Lane Station was just opposite and closed in September 1954. Perhaps Tina and her mum had some time to spare before her train to Hastings.
1953 map angles could be and no buildings then and road goes off at angle , no ARW in entry but no removal date either. I know its not shown within park railings but could be wrong.

Re Tina Onions Box
I don't think its Hastings, P35 or
P37 Brockwell park ( Box OUTSIDE railings ARW far back )
Could it be R23 which did have an A.R.W. siren ?
Box
A.R.W. Siren

Northwest corner of junction of Bexley Road and Crown Woods Way
District: Eltham
Subdivision: Eltham
The OS map says levelled 1952, surveyed March 1956
A note vertical divider feature
B note end roof top
I know the chimneys are now different but does that look like the top floor divider ?
The field across the road had nothing built on it
There is a large unidentified building with grounds. Could the bench have been in there ?
The 1945 google earth image does seem to show the box in the position shown
on the os map but was the box moved when the road was widened ?
