Victoria Street at the Grave Yard

[starcross]

I researched this Police Post, but didn't find a clear photo. Britain From Above has a view of the street at a great angle in 1949 but the shadows just don't have that perfect silhouette for a Police Post. The OS Map from 1960 shows the location of the Post, and the shadow of the aerial photo does match; however its still just a fuzzy shadow.

I was able to locate some streetview photos from 1960 in the City of London archive Collage, but the police post is just out of frame in both photos. The subject of the photos was Windsor house, it looks like most things it got torn down for a glass monstrosity.

The Streetview from 2008 Shows the best view of the low wall in front of what was the Church grave yard but now just another green park. In this view the post would have been on the part of the wall that has the shadow of the tree jsut to the right of the bus shelter.
