A wet & windy Blackpool is not the place to be but I did like this row of red telephone boxes outside the old redundant post office.
When I was nursing in Blackpool Victoria Hospital this post office was a vibrant busy building exactly like the one in Preston. That too has a row of telephone boxes outside very similar to this.
The Post offices in Blackpool has moved the the WHSmith shop.
Three good things:
1. It’s taken me a good twenty minutes to suss out the retuning of our TV tonight...last time it did it automatically but not as straightforward this time...it was easy when I worked it out!
2. Trying to finish my library book before I go to the library tomorrow! Had a lovely read this afternoon.
3. My sisters birthday today. I am the eldest she is the youngest.....two brothers in between.
@louannwarren Thank you Lou Ann the powers that be seem to be realising that these red phone boxes are an asset so thankfully haven’t removed them in Preston or Blackpool, I have no idea if you can still use them but I doubt it.
A wonderful sight , all those phone boxes Pat , So many memories of rushing into a phone box clutching a handful of coins to make a call especially when on holidays ! When the telephone boxes were made redundant ,my brother in law who was a Telephone engineer bought a phone box , and it is sitting in his garden like a mini greenhouse !!
Love the telephone boxes. These were the days!! There was one down the road from our house when I was little....it was the place to meet!! One of the coffee shops near us has one in its outdoor area, but perhaps it has been there a long time as the coffee shop used to be a post office.
The post office within shops is simply nothing like a proper post office....up this way anyway!!!
I did laugh at your comments about brisk attitude!! There's another side to you as well!!!
@sarah19 Apparently so Sallie, I’m just like my auntie Eva I know it myself! A lovely sight in villages the red telephone boxes are an icon aren’t they? There is one in St Michaels the next village or there was, must check today when I go past...you get used to them being there & don’t notice unless a long line of them like this. There are eight in this row.
@beryl A nice reminder of his working life Beryl, I know two of these phone booths sitting in gardens, Cathy’s FIL has one & some friends of ours in Retford. I can even remember the smell of them can you?
