Not often you see a red phone box nowadays.
We saw this one at Wollaton Hall on Saturday.
It was such a miserable day and pouring it down with rain. I always get a nostalgic feeling when I see one. Temporarily warming me up!! Did you know the minimum you can put in a call box now to make a call is 60p !!! It was 10p when I last used one. Inflation…….
My son was racing here and he came home so muddy!!
Can’t wait to go back another day when the sun is shining!
Perhaps make a call???

Great photo. Sorry I am so late visiting for Wordless Wednesday.
I love them too and I am glad they are being preserved as part of our culture heritageMollyxxx
I always enjoy taking picture in those vintage phone boxes :). They are part of a very important history indeed..
Neat! I just went to Atlantic City for my birthday and there's a fake telephone booth in front of the Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill that looks very similar to that one.
Claire, this past Christmas we were in Gatlinburg, Tennessee which is situated in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains taking in the festive seasonal decorations. Anywho, the area called The Village had a replica of a red phone box. Unfortunately the photos I shared you can't see it. But, I always think it's so neat to see any type of phone booth. The last time I used one I think it cost twenty-five cents just to place a call. I think that was in the mid-70s, too. Thanks for visiting and linking up today. Happy WW!
I love the classic red telephone booths in London.
Thank you for hosting! I always enjoy visiting you!
Thanks for hosting the party. I love the old telephone boxes too.
Coolest picture ever! I love old phone booths! I need to dig around in some photos from a previous trip where I captured things like this! Thank you for the inspiration.
I love those old telephone boxes! I hope they don't get rid of them all!!
Thanks for the party this week, Claire. Love the phone booth! Please join us on the #OMHGWWHappy Valentines!!Karren
Same here…it's a rare thing to see a phone booth. And our's aren't nearly as pretty!Debbie
Fantastic photo. I loved seeing the classic red phone booths last time I was in London. I don't think I have ever seen them anywhere else.
There is still quite a few in London but not half as many, the funny thing is I have often seen people in phone boxes talking on their mobiles LOL …oh well at least they still serve a purpose.Have a rainytastic week
Smashing image. Don't see too many of those red phone boxes nowadays.
