Tag: Red Phone Boxes

This is another phone box that Dad spotted while travelling!

(Coordinates 54°99’32.9″N, 1°45’08.2″W.)

You can’t quite get into the ferry terminal on Google Street View, but you can just about see the phone box from the parallel road.

Despite the fact that it’s a local phone box to me, I’ve not seen this one in person, due to the fact that I don’t travel by ferry very often. If I ever do, I’ll look out for it!

Update August 2025: it’s been moved to a different part of the terminal!

Update 2nd April 2026: updated coordinate link.

I’m moving onto a series of pictures of phone boxes that Dad has sent me in the course of his and Mum’s travels. This first one is from Dundrennan in Dumfries and Galloway.

(Coordinates 54°80’88.6″N, 3°94’75.4″W.)

This phone box goes beautifully with the pretty church behind it. Rural boxes in the middle of nowhere, like this one, tend to be less at risk from councils attempting to ‘modernise’ things, so you still see lots of them about.

Update 2nd April 2026: added coordinate link.

This is my most recent phone box find. I spotted it the day we arrived in Bognor for Electric Dreams.

(Coordinates 50°78’65.3″N, 0°67’55.7″W.)

I like phone boxes on railway platforms – they really cheer up the space.

From next week, I’ll be going through a few older phone box photos!

Update 26th March 2026: added coordinate link (you can just see the phone box in the background behind the ‘Welcome’ sign).

Bit of an unusual example to start 2019, as this ‘phone box’ is a sort of artistic replica of a classic K6.

(Coordinates 53°79’27.7″N, 1°75’67.5″W.)

I’m not actually sure what its function is, or why it’s only got two sides, but it is quite aesthetically pleasing!

Update 26th March 2026: added coordinate link.

It’s our last phone box post of 2018, and the last in the series of phone boxes from Islington for now!

(Coordinates 51°53’60.9″N, 0°10’36.7″W.)

You can see from the background that these ones are part of a ‘red phone box/red postbox’ double feature, which is always nice.

We’ll move somewhere else for our first phone box of 2019!

Update 26th March 2026: added coordinate link.

It’s our penultimate duo of Islington phone boxes from November 2017!

(Coordinates 51°53’60.2″N, 0°10’27.8″W.)

I was photographing these ones from quite a long way away, obviously!  You can see the two phone boxes a bit better on the Google Street View image linked above.

Update 26th March 2026: added coordinate link.

Yup, we’re still in Islington, with another nice duo of phone boxes!

(Coordinates 51°53’84.3″N, 0°10’23.3″W.)

These two look very pretty with the autumn leaves.

More from Islington next week!

Update 26th March 2026: added coordinate link.

It’s another Islington phone box from November 2017.  An adapted internet booth this time!

(Coordinates 51°54’16.4″N, 0°10’28.6″W.)

I do like a repurposed phone booth!  It looks quite nice in black as well.

Update 19th March 2026: added coordinate link.

It’s the third in our series of Islington phone boxes from November 2017.

(Coordinates 51°54’23.6″N, 0°10’30.1″W.)

Like last week’s phone box, this model is a K2.  I love the slightly more old-fashioned look of them!
