A green K2 telephone box in Savoy Place off the Embankment. This is outside the Institute of Electrical Engineers. It was apparently painted green to blend in with the Embankment gardens.There is no telephone kiosk here now. It was replaced by a statue of Michael Faraday.
April 1969.
Box 40 at Bispham working its final trip of the day to North Pier before heading back to depot. 28th January 2017.
The box is more of a point of sale piece but part of the crisis direct mail.
The statement has power and gets straight to the point which was intended for the target audience.
Food, A bed and shelter are all human necessities so the idea is to us peoples emotions to help them to reflect on there lives.
Shelter for you and me is a house but if you ar e homeless then all you have for shelter is a box.
The Box is intended to bee left in places where people could walk past and tear away one of the contact strips on the box.
A K6 telephone kiosk and a Queen Elizabeth II Lamp Postbox stand together at Littleworth Common, Buckinghamshire.

The Story
In the summer I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks on a Route 69 Road Trip in the USA. Part of the trip took us to The Joshua Tree National Park on the edge of which this shot was taken. In the UK we dont hve mail boxes so this was a real novelty to me and my kiddies
The Shot
3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens handheld
Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.
Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.
Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.
The noise reduced with Noiseware .
Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.
Music
Return to Sender- Elvis Presley

This is my take on a 3 string cigar box slide guitar.
This was my first build of a cigar box guitar, and as you can probably guess i didn't use a cigar box and instead i used an old wooden chess board i had in the house, which i think gave the guitar a fantastic look right from the start.
I pieced together ideas from various sources but mainly a great book i got online which was very helpful.
As i was finding it quite difficult to get my hands on hardwood i had to use what i could and due to that i decided to make this one fretless as i couldn't a suitable piece.
The overall cost of this guitar was around £30 and sounds really cool.
Materials -
wooden chess board
Red Meranti for the neck
Oak for the headstock add on and bridges.
Now just to learn how to play it before i build my next!
Red mosaic box including: glass, marbles, semi-precious stones, beads, shards, pebbles, nuggets, glass jewels, butterfies, ladybirds etc.
Wood base, painted inside and bottom and lined in red velvet.
A custom piece for Heike.
I only need five more blocks, but I think I may start to arrange these a bit so I can see how much white I want in those last five blocks. I got a kick out of the blocks on the top right...just a half inch square surrounded by white :)
Boxes stamped with Yellow Owl Workshop's Cityscape set. Very happy-making.

Welton Gate Box is situated between Melton Lane and Brough on the Gilberdyke to Hull line.
The gates are normally closed to road users and the signals in the off position. Because of the close proximity of the boxes to one another we see Melton Lane's distant signal sharing the same posts as Welton's home signal. in the opposite direction Brough Easts distant signal is similarly mounted beneath Welton's home peg.
Here the driver gives a wave as 185126 glides by the crossing at 15.19 hrs with 1K16 the 13.41 Manchester Piccadily - Hull Paragon service, seen on Friday 31st July 2015.
Another rest day !!! That's two in two weeks.
I'm very conscious that whilst I have these signalling riches on my doorstep I need to get them visited as soon enough I'll be moving on and they'll be a whole lot trickier to find time to visit. Rest days are few and far between but a concerted effort needs to be made to get out more with the camera.
This one saw a very leisurely start visiting in this order
Hull Paragon
Hessle Road
Welton Gate Box
Melton Lane
Crabley Creek
Five very different boxes
I took a myriad of shots , if and when time allows I'll return with more signalling type shots but for now I have just posted one for each location and all featuring a train.

AA Box, Aysgarth, Wensleydale, 13 Jul 2021
I love the way the Yellow Loosestrife complements the AA Yellow.
In the early 1960s there were 862 AA sentry boxes scattered around the country.
It is thought that 21 of the original AA boxes remain in situ at the roadside.
Most of these are now listed buildings.
The Aysgarth box is Grade II listed.
