Roy Cropper's Coinbox Telephone...

[mrs.chappie]

I've just watched Corrie, and Roy on his payphone got me thinking...now that most folk have mobile phones, do these payphones still exist?

[EDDIE51]

Yes you can still get them, rare now though.

[douglas9401]

Indeed they do. There's one in The Red Brolly services on the A9 at Ballinluig.

[mrs.chappie]

Thanks peeps. :o)

Interesting question, I can't actually think of one phone box in my area.

[mazie]

Neither can I Prudie

[douglas9401]

I have a BT one opposite my driveway. When we first moved here it was very popular with those who liked more of a kick from their smokes.
Haven't seen anybody near it in ages.

[Bathsheba]

There's a least 4 in my town centre

[sherrardk]

We have a phone box in the village but that might be because we live in the sticks.

One in the local club

[Prudie]

It doesn't count if it doesn't smell of pee and smoke.

[-Talbot-]

The local club does smell of pee and smoke

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, they do. Ican think of four in our town, several in the hospital too.

[stuey]

These phone booths, are they still the traditional fully enclosed red ones with windows in them?

[Peter Pedant]

yes there are
the phone companies are reluctant to maintain them
as everyone has mobiles now

Manchester Picc main concourse there are a few

Oh there is a K9 or is it K6 ? in Frodsham as a listed building
