The Smallest police station in London.
The Smallest police station in London.
Located rather surreptitiously at the south-east corner of Trafalgar Square is a rather peculiar and often overlooked world record holder; Britain's Smallest Police Station. Apparently this tiny box can accommodate up to two prisoners at a time, although its main purpose was to hold a single police officer...think of it as a 1920's CCTV camera
Built in 1926.

Very cool
ReplyDeleteIs it "larger on the inside? Does this one periodically disappear and reappear? ;-)
ReplyDeleteOshi Shikigami - Well, it is all about Time And Relative Distance In Space. ;-)
ReplyDeleteImagine "working"or being held in there all day. I think this is an intriguing concept and I wonder about the rationale behind it. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteThat took me back. When I was 16 yrs 9 mnths I went into the London Police College and then on to Uxbridge Police Station - but had to leave just before I was 19 as I failed the eye-sight test. They had strict standards back then. But what reminded me was that, at the time, I had a key to open the Police Boxes - like Dr Who's Tardis.
ReplyDeleteMike Perry Wow! That's really interesting!
ReplyDeleteMike Perry Your just full of surprises. It is truly a joy getting to know you.
ReplyDeleteAnd to you , and Oshi Shikigami and Mike Martin Love the Dr. references.
Who, could resist?
ReplyDeleteIt's all that "timey-whimie, wibbly-wobly sort of stuff", that holds it all together, isn't it?:-)
Oshi Shikigami It is; oh my yes, it is.
ReplyDeleteAllmost! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood to be so comfortably far from de-civilization! :-)
ReplyDeleteUh-huh...
ReplyDeleteAnn Kennedy & Margaret Siemers I like a bit of time travel ... but it's been many years since I was inside a 'Tardis' ... it's nice to look back at times and see how our lives could easily have turned out so differently.
ReplyDeleteDr. you do not have Ginger hair, however you do look to be a woman. Is this transformation complete or have you finished?
ReplyDeleteDr. Now that the Tardis is fixed and can time travel again, what are your feelings about living here on planet earth as you had in the past/present/future?
ReplyDeleteI get it, Your simply using the avatar of Oshi Shikigami to keep the Cyber men off your trail. Very inventive, I will guard your secret closely.
ReplyDeleteMike Perry I do believe you and Oshi Shikigami were companions at one past and future time. :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed, in a wibbly wobbly, timie weimy sort of way...
