I've always thought it doesn't seem to fit its 'footprint', very well. Now I'm wondering if it was moved from the POW transit camp on nearby Wanstead flats to its present location, which might actually be a bomb site.

However, I recently passed one in Button Oak, Shropshire, that was a choclatey brown (could take no photograph but hope to return) and there are quite a few ones in cream and other pale colours.
