Red telephone box

ANNIEHAHA

I want to buy a red telephone box, I drove past one the other day and it had a sold sign on it but I didnt know it was for sale?

I am watching some on ebay and salvage yards are dear

just wondered if anyone knew any other contacts, I am happy to buy one to 'do up' myself

Im looking at spending about £300

I've just had a quick google and found these,
£650 and they need restoration, and delivery !!!! If that's average you're going to be lucky to get one in the region of £300

Been googling all day, need one which is in need of TLC but once they are in the hands of companies the price rockets and I dont know how they end up getting so many and/or who from

Can I ask why you want one?

Perhaps you've got work in central London and need an affordable family home there.

I had an idea of putting one in my back garden as a feature, My husband and I remember them but our children know nothing of them and I would like it as a part of British history I suppose, we live in Norfolk (and I am a bit kooky I guess)

The reason I have been researching it is because one up the road was sold and I never knew it was for sale

ANNIEHAHA

I have come across pictures of some completely abandoned in the midlle of nowhere but I dont know where or when these were taken, so if anyone knows where an abandoned broke derelict one is please PM me....

I'd want it to include free phone calls for life if i were to pay that.
