Phone Box Thursday: Borough Road, Sunderland

Moving onto a phone box that I first spotted while running the Sunderland 10K in 2016, but of which I only had the chance to take a photo the following year, when Geth and I went to Sunderland so he could look at the course in preparation (he ran it for the first time in 2017).

I love a good phone-box-turned-cash-machine – it keeps the boxes useful in the world of the 21st century!

Update 26th February 2026: unfortunately this phone box has now been removed (and Google Street View doesn’t seem to have historical data available for Sunderland city centre) but I’ve added a coordinate link for where it used to be.
