Could do with a refurb Keith.

A bit like me then Alby :-)))

Schitterende opname, Keith. Jij moet nog een keer terug gaan naar TOpsham Devon, want ik wil de telefoon zien die daar binnen hangt en ik wil weten , waar die stalen beugel voor diend die op het dak is gemonteerd.

The phone is just a normal dialling one with a box for putting coins in.....nothing special. I'm not sure what the bracket on the roof is for, but probably for lifting it when needed.l

Glad you like the photo Frans........many thanks!

Da hast du Recht,dieser alte Look mit dem Rost der Telefonzelle ist ein wunderbares Motiv für einen Fotografen lieber Keith,klasse hast du deine Entdeckung vorgestellt,ich hoffe,dass sie diese schöne Telefonzelle restaurieren und sie wo hinstellen,wo sie ein toller Hingucker wieder wird :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

I'm happy that you like this telephone box Güni I couldn't resist taking a photo of it..!!

Thanks for your visit and lovely comments as always. I'll have to have a look next time I visit the town and see if it's been refurbished.

I hope your day has been cooler (ours has).......have a lovely evening. Best wishes, Keith ;-)

Awesome! I love the neglect it has created so much more character and amazing that it still has a phone in it !! we have one in the village that is in better condition but has no phone in it, the local councillor has asked for ideas of what to do with it, unless they can find a use it will be removed, most people have suggested installing a defibrillator.

Anyhow I really like this shot a lot

I thought this one might be to your taste James........and I'm glad I was right. Thanks for your visit and interesting comments!

I've seen a couple not to far from me that have been converted into community libraries, where people can donate books, or swap them.

I hope you've had a cooler day..!!

It looks like a time capsule…so iconic the old red boxes. Long gone here except as odd crumbling remnants in the remotest of country hamlets here, have a top weekend Keith.

They are still quite impressive looking I think..........but a lot of the younger generations seem horrified when you explain what you used to have to go through to make or receive a phone call, if you didn't have a phone at home :-)))

Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments Diana.....thank you so much and have a top weekend yourself.

I love the photogenic signs of decay especoally on the red paint! Amazing that the golden crowns seem to be completely unaffected and that the phone still seems to be working!

That's precisely why I liked this one so much Gudrun........and I'm glad you agree that it's very photogenic.

The phone was definitely working......I lifted it up and got a dial tone. Funnily enough, the golden crowns looked as if they'd been recently painted :-)))

Thanks for dropping in and commenting..!!

If this metal bracket was designed to lift the telephone box, that makes it the forerunner of the mobile phone!
;o)))

daar moet je niet gaan telefoneren met deze hitte,,,stel -het slot is defect

a beautiful image

Have a serene weekend.
