Red telephone boxes

Recommended Posts

A rare sight indeed, is there by slim chance a red telephone box still standing anywhere in Sheffield? Or indeed nearby?

 

Surely BT missed one!

 

The hunt is on...

Out of curiosity I went on a Dogpile search of red phone boxes and came up with http://www.englishphoneboxes.com

 

Apparantly, BT are refurbishing them and selling them off to foreigners. A Dutch guy has a red phone box at his home in Holland. The web site even has a gallery of photos.

Ha, its hillarious. Foreigners will buy anything British?

I cycle through a village called Dungworth near Dam flask and there is still a red phone box there.

There's still a red box on Meadowhead, outside the Yorkshire Windows shop.

 

Quite surprising, since every other one in the area was replaced years ago.

There's one in the Firth Park / Wincobank / Shiregreen area, at the junction of Windmill Lane and (what I think is) Wharncliffe Road.

 

Err...it's Bevercotes Road. The Wharncliffe is the pub :blush:

Yeah, there is a REALLY old one on Gosforth Lane/Netherdene Road in Dronfield. Still untouched and still working I believe. You can't miss it, left hand side going up the hill before the conifer bushes.
