    Great to see, Taffy. What's the information on that wind direction pointer, as I take it to be, and the sign "Woodside Ferry" -- are they both original to the old terminal, maybe dating to Victorian days, or are they mock-ups?

    I had to get the bus to Landican Cemetery recently, and noticed that once you get in the suburbs of Birkenhead, there seems to be nothing but original red telephone boxes.
    Obviously, a different policy is operating there, than in Liverpool, where they are a rarity.

    I think they're originals. The Woodside ferry terminal has been laid out as a heritage centre as well as a passenger terminal

    This one is by the Railway Inn in Meols on the Wirral. Its actually quite famous too.

    It was the actual phone box OMD sang obout on their second single 'Red Frame/White light', which also included the phone number in its verse.

    The number is still the same today! I have a photo of a large group of OMD fans all around it too somewhere from 2005. I got onto the Radio with this too!

    Notice the 'wet paint' signs on the wall. BT painted a day before the fans arrived. Hows that?

    better views of the Town Hall ones



    there used to be one at the end of my street when I was a kid (now one of those crappy new ones), that was the right hand goal post and the pillar box was the left hand one.

    had a passion for both ever since

    Me mum used to phone me nan in the USA form this one in the mid eighties. It saved her a ton of money, cause it was always free! Somehow after the first coin it would stay connection until she hung up. She would aways worry if the police where listening and would come and arrest her. She always had a bag of change with her when she used the fone, to prove she intended to pay...Ha!

    I was made up when I found this one on the net, as it has come up in conversation many times over the years.

    This fone box is/was located on Ashfield & Picton Rd.



    To make local calls we would use to fone on Cardigan street.

    This is a screen capture of a youtube vid:Boys from the black stuff, 1982.
    so the quality is not very good. This is the fone I mentioned in my ^^^other post.
    Cardigan street between Alderson & Salisbury rd in Wavertree L15.


    I Know there is already a thread started for Boys from the Blackstuff, Good Stuff! so I wont post the video here.
