Telephone boxes and Cabman's shelter

These telephone boxes are very well maintained and are used for educational purposes. I did try to press button B, but got no result. The green Cabmen's shelter, also very well maintained and now listed, has an interesting story which I'll get round to.

In 1911 the shelter was bought by the daughter of a former mayor of Ripon for £200 and is now listed and very well preserved

I love these old-fashioned red telephone boxes. I can remember as far back to when the had 'Button A' and ;Button B'. I can't remember the last time I used one, though. I hope you have an excellent weekend. Kindest regards, Joe

Four in a row is a rare sight! The complementary greens make the red really striking.
If you have been to Ripon, did you also visit Fountains Abbey?

Difficult to photograph, I needed a wider perspective.

Those telephone boxes look to be in much better condition than the one in my photo.......they stand out very well and contrast nicely with the green of the Cabman's Shelter. The shelter looks Victorian?

A lovely photo Amelia..!!
