Here’s a recent one from our little jaunt to the Cotswolds. This was opposite our B&B in Crudwell.

Design aspects
In my artefacts lecture today we had a visit from Bill Sillar. He enlightened us on the origins for the design of the red UK phone box (among many other things). Giles Gilbert Scott based it on the John Soane Mausoleum in St Pancras Old Churchyard.

As a class we recently visited LARC where the original architectual model for the red phone box is kept. It’s about 1 metre in height. Annoyingly I didn’t take a camera.

London?
I don’t really remember where this was taken, but I’m sure it was in England, perhaps London.

In my wanderings I came across this row today.
A colleague of my husband’s told him, after seeing this blog, that I was either insane or a genius. Hmmm. She suggested I apply for a lottery grant to pursue my art. An interesting thought.

I can’t remember where or when this was taken – maybe late 1990s.
Art gallery
Just read about a phone box being turned into a gallery:

“A group of residents in Settle, North Yorkshire, have turned an old-fashioned phone box into what they claim is one of the world’s smallest art galleries.”
Isle of Man
Between Christmas and New Year 2007 we spent a couple of days on the Isle of Man.
