This telegraph pole was installed by GPO in 1964, 30" tall, and classified as a "light" pole. Its noticeable lean appears to have earned it both a "D" (decayed) plate and an "A1024" notice (a more immediate instruction for repair or replacement). The pole appears to be directing most of its lines towards Willesley Primary School, which was not built for another five years.
