A police officer took a stroll past 76 Totter's Lane, where he took curious note of a police call box in the middle of the I.M. Foreman Junkyard. He could not have known that this particular call box was actually the TARDIS. [2]
Points of Interest[]
- I.M. Foreman Junkyard
- Presumably owned by someone named I.M. Foreman, this junkyard was located on 76 Totter's Lane in Shoreditch. It is here that the First Doctor first hid the TARDIS on Earth, disguising it as a police call box. Coal Hill School teachers Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright followed their student, Susan Foreman, here and encountered the Doctor for the first time. Unwilling to compromise his identity and secrets, the Doctor felt it best to abduct Ian and Barbara inside the TARDIS whereupon they became his new companions.
