Where's the Telephone Box? Part 5



I suspect that these posts may run and run as I am compelled to continue seeking out more images from old picture postcards. They were all published at a time when telephone boxes were in shot because they were an omnipresent feature of the nation's landscape, as well as being design masterpieces.

And from an era before they had become deliberately photographed as a nostalgic symbol of our past. Sadly now more often than not when they are left in situ, it's without an actual working phone inside.

Let's begin at a Town Hall...
