the glass elevator added next to the famous Waverley Steps, the steep stone stairs which lead down from Princes Street to the large Waverley railway station below in the valley between Edinburgh's Old and New Towns. A couple of years back the Steps were done up and refurbished, also having a modern glass and steel canopy over them (which descend the steep levels in line with the stairs below, so they don't intrude on the skyline) and this external elevator was added at the same time as another way down to the station below, at night as you cross North Bridge is stands out light a glowing glass box.
I was delighted when my first posting as a signalman took me away from station located boxes - which is where my first two locations were. Mainly due to when the station was unstaffed, you were the focal point of passenger enquiries....and the person for them to vent their spleen if a train was late or cancelled!
I'm pretty sure Helsby would have been the same until the staircase cage was erected....

Freightliners 66603 is seen in the process of running round 6H22 1113 Tunstead to Briggs Sidings on 13th February 2019. The train runs around using the Up and Down through siding from Great Rocks. Peak Forest South signal box was built by the Midland Railway in 1925 and a standard BR frame of 50 levers was fitted in 1974. The junction seen here is due to be relayed soon as part of upgrade work. Photo: Ivan Stewart (taken on an official safety tour).
Number 66 in "100 Pictures" : 'Box'
I was having a big tidy in the studio and found this ancient object.
It had to have a picture taken before I threw it away.
The bento boxes in Tokyo are so pretty....this one isn't even a special one, you can buy it under $10.
Filet crocheted box with an old filet pattern from a reprinted (facsimile) swedish book called "Den Nya Wirkboken" ("The New Crochetbook") from 1848 (!) by Wilhelmina StÃ¥lberg. (The reprint is made 1981.) ♡
The pattern for the lid is from Jan Eaton's book 200 Crochet Blocks and is called Gothic Square. I added some rows with just simple singel crochets and then a row with frill/flounce. :o)
The box is about 11x20x11 cm. I used white cotton yarn and I starched it in sugarwater (a little bit difficult to get the box shape). Maybe I'll add som glitter too but I haven't decided yet. :o)
DIME BOX, TEXAS. Dime Box is on Farm Road 141 twelve miles northeast of Giddings in eastern Lee County. It originated between 1869 and 1877, when a settler built a sawmill near what is now State Highway 21, three miles northwest of the site of the present community. Records suggest that the mill's builder was Joseph S. Brown, and the settlement of British-Americans, Czechs, Poles, Germans, and German-Wends which grew up around the mill was known as Brown's Mill (Browne's Mill, Brown's Mills). A Union School opened in January 1874. The school later housed the local Presbyterian church, which was one of the earliest of this denomination in the state. Until a government post office opened in 1877, settlers deposited outgoing mail and a dime in a small box inside Brown's office for a weekly delivery to Giddings. The Brown's Mill post office closed in December 1883. When it reopened the following spring, frequent confusion of Brown's Mill with Brownsville had caused the town to be renamed Dime Box. In 1913, when the Southern Pacific Railroad built a line three miles southeast of Dime Box, the original settlement became Old Dime Box, and the new railroad station became Dime Box. The railroad encouraged growth, and the community's estimated population increased from 127 in 1904 to 500 in 1925. The town received national attention in the 1940s when a CBS broadcast kicked off the March of Dimes drive from Dime Box. The number of residents remained between 300 and 500 throughout the middle years of the twentieth century and was estimated at 313 from 1972 through 2000. In the late 1970s oil was discovered in the Dime Box area.
Thanks to les brunes for the texture.
Hurricane Katrina is long gone but New Orleans hasn't forgotten. A funeral for a hurricane victim is the subject of this window box mural in the French Quarter. Folk Art.
In 1849, the Royal Mail first encouraged people to install letterboxes to facilitate the delivery of mail. Before then, letterboxes of a similar design had been installed in the doors and walls of post offices for people to drop off outgoing mail.
Of a style almost universal in British homes and offices.
There is actually a European standard for letter boxes, EN 13724:2002 "Postal services – Apertures of private letter boxes and letter plates – Requirements and test methods", However I think that this one predates the last British Standard BS 2911:1974.

Never thought I would see a recycling box in a motel room. Makes sense though.
This is to mark the Hereios of the We're Here! group's visit to Beautiful Boxes on 26 December 2019.
The diminutive signal box at Whiteball Siding situated just to the south of the tunnel, between Wellington and Tiverton Junction. The box had been rebuilt in 1955 following a fire, on the original 1876 Saxby & Farmer Type 4 base Bristol & Exeter Railway box. The large notice warns about the fragility of the asbestos roof structure. The box closed in 1986, its area coming under the panel box at Exeter.
