Phone Box Thursday: Chaddesley Corbett, Chaddesley Corbett

Yes, the street name is the same as the village.

This is the first of a very long series of phone boxes found by Mum and Dad in the Midlands and Wales back in September. We’ll be looking at these until well into 2024! Let’s begin with this defibrillator box.

Always nice to see this particular reuse! You hope it will never be needed, but it will always be worthwhile.

Phone Box Thursday: A816, Arduaine

Here’s another from Mum and Dad’s trip to western Scotland.

I was confused when searching on Street View at first as there’s another red phone box just up the road – it’s a bit more tucked away so Mum and Dad must have missed it! The other one is being used as an ‘eggbox’ but this one featured today has a real phone in it. It also has a nice white frosted effect on the pane surrounds, though I don’t think that’s deliberate.
