Feedback for the warden of the box

When it became disused by BT some years ago, the Parish Council took it over, initially not being sure what to do with it. It eventually became home for the Parish Council sponsored defibrillator. It is next to a cafe called ‘The Cook in the Nook’, which has been run as a cafe by a variety of people, but before that was a haberdashers run by the people who lived in the house next to the telephone box.

The post office has had a couple of homes in ‘The Nook’. Until about three or so years ago it used to be in a small shop directly opposite the telephone box, but has now moved round the corner to share a site with the village chemists. There is a see-through telephone box by the village hall and library and there used to be another K6 telephone box on Narborough Road, not too far from the cemetery, but that was removed some years ago.
