Phone Box Thursday: Castle Street, Ludlow

23 October 202523 October 2025 Dee Leave a comment

This is the start of another series from Mum and Dad’s travels, this time down south.

Red phone box, Castle Street, Ludlow, 4th September 2025.

(Coordinates 52°36’75.8″N, 2°72’01.7″W.)

No phone in this one but it appears to have been in use, at some point, as a town centre art installation. Bit graffitied-over now though. Fingers crossed for a spruce-up!

Phone Box Thursday: C306, Staneydale

One last phone box from Shetland!

Red phone box, C306, Staneydale, 15th July 2025.

Bit weatherbeaten this one, but it still has a phone in (though it has a planned removal notice in as well 🙁 ).

A little bit further south next week.

Phone Box Thursday: B9071, Toogs

Here’s another phone box from rural Shetland.

Red phone box, B9071, Toogs, 15th July 2025.

(Coordinates 60°17’95.5″N, 1°41’36.8″W.)

The surroundings look a bit nicer than in the Street View image from 2009, though the box itself could do with a lick of paint! Phone still intact too.

Phone Box Thursday: A971, Melby

Still on the west side of Shetland this week.

Red phone box, A971, Melby, 15th July 2025.

(Coordinates 60°30’17.4″N, 1°65’41.2″W.)

Missing its door but the phone is still intact!

Phone Box Thursday: A971, Bridge of Walls

Here’s another from the west of Shetland.

Red phone box, A971, Bridge of Walls, 15th July 2025.

(Coordinates 60°24’35.0″N, 1°51’29.0″W.)

The exterior is a bit tatty but it does still have a phone in.

Phone Box Thursday: Aith Marina, Aith

Another phone box from Mum and Dad’s Shetland trip.

Red phone box, Aith Marina, Aith, 15th July 2025.

(Coordinates 60°28’59.0″N, 1°37’58.1″W.)

Phone intact! Looks like that bit of stone may be necessary to hold the door shut though.

Phone Box Thursday: U267, Trebister

Here’s another one from Mum and Dad’s adventures in Shetland.

Red phone box, U267, Trebister, 14th July 2025.

(Coordinates 60°13’37.2″N, 1°20’35.7″W.)

Currently doorless but phone still intact!

Phone Box Thursday: Lerwick Revisit

4 September 20254 September 2025 Dee Leave a comment

Mum and Dad returned to the Commercial Street phone box this summer.

Not many changes here, but the paint job does appear smarter than in 2019!

Out into the Shetland countryside next week.

Phone Box Thursday: unnamed road, Bridge End

Another phone box from Mum and Dad’s Shetland trip.

Red phone box, unnamed road, Bridge End, 12th July 2025.

(Coordinates 60°08’13.1″N, 1°33’53.3″W.)

Missing its door and there doesn’t seem to be much inside, but it’s still hanging on!

Phone Box Thursday: C214, Hamnavoe

21 August 202521 August 2025 Dee Leave a comment

Here’s the first of a series that Mum and Dad found in Shetland this summer.

Red phone box, C214, Hamnavoe, 12th July 2025.

(Coordinates 60°09’69.8″N, 1°32’17.8″W.)

Just one of many bits of décor around the place including lots of fake birds!

More from Shetland next week.
