A central #London glass #PoliceBox has been made to look like a tank of #piranhas, in the seventh in series of works by the #graffiti artist #Banksy
The elusive artist claimed the work as his own by featuring it on his Instagram account in a post at 1pm on Sunday.

Five years ago today, I embarked on a project to create photo composites placing police boxes back in their former locations across London and the Home Counties, which I called ‘Ghost Monuments’ – here are some of my favourites and here’s my website with the rest! https://www.ghostmonuments.co.uk/
@AaronDavid Good joke, but not sure there were ever any purple police boxes even on Dr Who

The one which has been removed from 185 Sauchiehall Street wasn't originally sited there, but it still represents an important part of Glasgow's heritage and its historic street furniture, which seems to be constantly under threat of removal, but which definitely add to the unique feel of the city's streets. Hopefully, this one will be returned once the current rennovations to Sauchiehall Street have been completed, and that no more of them will be removed.
The iconic British police box might now be associated with Dr Who more than anything else, but once they were a regular sight on our streets. Now only fourteen are left, six of which are in Glasgow. Well, make that five as one was removed from Sauchiehall Street yesterday as part of redevelopment work.

Police box on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. While we now think of police boxes as being blue, in Glasgow red was the traditional colour.
In the days before radios and mobile phones, these boxes allowed patrolling officers to keep in touch with the local station as well as allowing members of the public to contact both the police and the fire bridage in case of an emergency.
The style of box shown in this picture replaced the original ones in the 1930s and unlike other parts of the UK, Glasgow police boxes were traditionally painted red rather than blue.
Police box beside Barrowland Park on the east end of Glasgow. Invented by Charles Eggar, a Glasgow fireman, police boxes first appeared on the city's streets in 1891.
The original signal boxes were hexagonal and made of cast iron by the Macfarlane and Co Saracen foundry. A similarilty in design strongly suggests it was based on a men's urinal already produced it that company.
