The Box on Chipstead High Road opposite the Shabden Cottages in Chipstead -- W47

Photo from circa 1955 --

You have to look very closely on the left (behind and between the sign and vehicle), but it is there.

Here is a shot that shows the first cottage in the foreground of the original photo to match the roof line of its gables --

A view of the approximate Box Site --

According to the Met List it should be just to the left of the structure on the right, but the photo suggests it might have been little further down the road, more or less opposite the paired driveways, which would put it about where the slight clearing is to the left in this view.
