Telephone box - in hedge

 
They almost look as though they have been stuffed into the hedge: these two symbols of British authority seem to have been treated a little disrespectfully!
However, I guess Saverley Green village decided that both the telephone box and the post box looked cosier like this.  At least, I suppose so…

  1. Am I right in thinking that a lot of these old-style phone boxes have gone? I love their distinctive look. I always remember that we had one in the village I was born in in Northants...it was tucked into a corner hedge and was always full of spiders!

    1. Hi Al. No, there are plenty of these old red phone-boxes left, but many have been de-commissioned... everyone has a mobile phone these days!
      But BT would prefer not to pull them down; what they want villages to do is 'adopt' them. Seems odd, but it's a kind of compromise, I suppose.

      (The spiders are still there!)
