I was intrigued to read about this Grade II listed, circa 1875
substation, looking more like an ornate postbox:

It's mapped here:

However, item 33 on this page:

   http://www.moleseyhistory.co.uk/books/surrey/industrialHistory/index.html#D3

refers to a second, at "Hersham -  Byfleet Road. (TQ079611)", but I
cannot find that in OSM. Is anyone local able to confirm its survival
and precise location, please? And take a photo for Wikimedia Commons?

Are there others?
