I don’t know if it’s still there today. In the age of mobile phones, the owner of the drinks stand next to it has probably also had to rethink his business.

_The Evening Post_, 1 April 1925:
A DANGEROUS BUSINESS
That good housekeeping rule as to a place for everything and everything in its place is particularly applicable to the ancient art and sport of kite flying, and in general it may be said that the place for kite flying—at the present time in tremendous vogue—is out of town, and especially well away from overhead electric power cables. This, mere annoyance to linesmen who are called upon to waste time, and energy in clearing lines is one sufficient reason for the unpopularity of the sport, but parents should remember, if youngsters will not, that kite flying near cables carrying 3000 to 11,000 volts may be extremely dangerous; under certain conditions the child might receive a very severe shock.
A definite warning as to the danger which follows interference with power lines is given by notices placed on the Hutt River pipe bridge, but there the warning is given to fishers, who may, so run the notices, receive a fatal shock should a wet line be thrown across the high[?] power lines across the river.

Alpena County Central Dispatch: There is an extreme ice emergency. If there is a down line in your yard that is not actively on fire or arcing stay away and contact your power company. Only call 911 if there is flames/arcing/smoke etc. Source: 202100,MI Alpena County Central Dispatch
