Snatching back the reins briefly to prevent Tom embarrassing me further, I am going to post today! I took this shot recently in Bath as I felt really sad for the poor old telephone box. An icon of British design and a symbol of the good old UK, these boxes are still sometimes used, despite most people owning mobile phones, however, they have been left to decay, which is a great shame. This one stands in a grand position by the Assembly Rooms in Bath, smack bang in the middle of a lot of Georgian grandeur! This image, I hope, sums up the way technology has gone forward in leaps and bounds leaving behind it some casualties.

You need a red mobile phone with a silver crown on it! ;-) It is sad, really sad...
ReplyDeleteI love these phone boxes , this poor one is out of shape !
ReplyDeleteYikes, that's awful. Please check out these booths at Disney's Epcot Center on Florida Fotos a couple of days ago...what a difference!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I hate to see history decay like ths...it's like it's being forgotten, and that is definitely not a good thing. Makes me want to get some red paint and do some touch-up work myself!
ReplyDelete"Little" damaged by the time...
