Pre-Worboys sign Stanmore
There were two of these on each corner of the block, and probably date to the building of the council estate around the 50s. These are the only ones I've seen which say beware, the usual ones said 'danger children'.

Flowers in the churchyard of the old church at Stanmore
There are two churches in Stanmore Churchyard. The old one was consecrated in 1632 by Archbishop Laud. The new church was begun in 1849 and contains much of the furnishings of the old church - see Link
Ian Nairn in Nairn's London (1966) says "Behind a mean-minded Victorian church, the ruins of the old one are dissolving away in gentle melancholy. It was built in 1631 by Archbishop Laud to be the old religion revived, very Gothic, though using up-to-date bricks. Now it is roofless, with a mouldering Victorian tomb in the nave, and a triste churchyard around. But lovable, not horrible: bramble and roses growing up to the walls and over the mass-produced headstones; soft, tender dissolution, the kind of end that most people would wish for... Long may it stay so. Gray's Elegy should have been written here, instead of at Stoke Poges."

St John's Church, Stanmore
The new St John's church was built as the old structure has become unsafe. The old church is now slightly ruined, but well maintained.
