Third in the treasure box series. The focus for this is away from the castle and more towards a dragons' cave. Wish I could think of something small enough for a knight.
The signalman at Pottington hangs precariously out of his box window; instead of using the stand provided; to hand-over the token to an approaching DMU from Ilfracombe, for the short single line section to Barnstaple Town, which can be seen to the rear of the box. The structure was literally built on the bank of the Taw estuary, and although the waters are tranquil on this day, they must have been very rough at times at this exposed location and the box somewhat draughty. The structure is an LSW Type 3b stone-to floor box which opened on 4th August 1890 when the section between here and Braunton was doubled. It possessed a Stevens & Sons Tappet frame of 19 levers and originally the single line to Barnstaple Town was worked by Tyer's No.3 tablet, later replaced by Key Token. With the singling of the line to Ilfracombe in December 1967 using the former Up line, Pottington was reduced to ground frame status to oversee the adjacent swing bridge. It closed for good along with the Ilfracombe branch on 5th October 1970
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....

50 002 Superb passes Appleford Crossing Box with 1A37, the 07:15 Oxford - Paddington
The box survived here only because the main road turns through 90 degrees, so any failure to stop would mean ramming the crossing gates
Eventually technology won out and the box was closed on 27th May 2001 , demolished and replaced with remotely monitored CCTV
The temperature has dropped today after several days of warmth. The first dandelions appeared a few days ago and I want to do something with them.
The drop in temperature means none of the flowers have opened today, now it is lunchtime and I am still waiting.
It is also very windy so anything fragile would not survive. I have had to resort to some indoor photography until the weather improves and the dandelions show their little yellow faces.
This box is made from hazel twigs with a line of tiny, fresh hazel leaves hanging in the middle. The have only appeared in a last few days and are wrinkled like toes in the bath as they wait to expand to full size.
A derelict signal box on the disused Tees Valley railway line. Shot at 17mm from ground level, processed mainly as a B&W, then re-toned with a bit of colour from the original.

An elegant Origami folded box I made using a new Hero Arts quatro stamp set. I used only the inside part of the stamps so they are small and I think that they qualify for this week's HA "little stamps" challenge. My cards inside the box are 4" x 4".
I used the beautiful new Basic Grey Porcelain paper. On the cover I used the small butterfly from one of the 4 stamps and the large butterfly. Love those butterflies. I covered the large one with Diamond Stickles. I did not stamp any sentiment on the card, because I want to add it when I know what I need : Thank you or For you or Happy Birthday....

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 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.
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.
My earlier photo showed a traditional UK phone box adorned with flowers. This one in Whitechapel is just filled with rubbish (trash)
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 Stålberg. (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)
