It's fairwell this week to one of our recent projects, the 'Irish Green' K6.

This fully restored Mk2 Georgian crowned K6D is off to Austria.

Auf Wiedersehen...

Rarely do we stumble across something so unique & rare as in this instance, an original K6D Red Telephone Box with a late 1970's interior - completely untouched since 1985!

Like time stood still, this gentle giant has mellowed into a cocktail of patination... A purists dream!

We recently supplied one of our unique replica Kiosks for use as a video booth!

The 'tele-vox' works by simply picking up the handset on the payphone, and the tiny camera records the video of the person speaking. ... more

We have replicated the 'brightwork' as found on 'Jubilee' shelving the K2, K6 & K8 Kiosks. Each polished stainless steel componant is correct thus can be purchased to improve missing, damaged or 'war issue' low grade steel applications. We plan to recreate the classic 'Jubilee' shelving within the next few weeks. More details coming soon...

No more fiddly paintwork... We' ve now reproduced two self adhesive decals to suit the A & B coinbox. Exact in size & colour, simpy ensure the surface is clean & dry. Line the decals up with the embossed removable front cover, remove the waxed backing paper & press!

Sometimes every so often, a challenge comes up!

Colin explained he has an ideal spot for a fully restored Kiosk in his garden but it might be a bit tricky getting it into position. Naturally I was curious, & decided on a site survey. A garden? Well, one & a half acres of beautiful mature woodland to get the kiosk through.... Not a problem!

I've just become the proud owner of an original GPO 'Silence Cabinet'!

This fine original example, dated & embossed S-23 GPO (1923 Seimens) originally came from Le Strange Arms Hotel in Hunstanton, Norfolk. Silence Cabinets are wooden kiosks with 'double glazed' crown glass windows & were only installed in 'better' establishments at a time when only the upper class could speak to 'ones companion'! Jolly good show!
I'm intending to restore this cabinet in the Spring. Watch this space...

We are delighted to be working in conjunction with councils wanting to 'adopt' their local Red Telephone Boxes. This is a recent story of how a small group of people worked harmoniously to revitalise their K6 kiosk. We were privaliged to supply the correct paint & spare componants for the project...

Hi Carl,
we had a great time renovating our village phone box. There are only 22 houses in our hamlet and lots of people turned out to help either with the preparation (which was quite hard going) or the top coat. Some provided snacks to keep us going and when it was finished several bottles of bubbly were opened. We reckoned that more care and attention was lavished on the phonebox than on our respective DIY jobs at home. We were so pleased that the... more

We' ve recently been comissioned by a client in Kentucky, US to produce a replication K6 'facia' with operational door. The idea behind this project is to secure the facia over an architectually designed opening to create the 'TARDIS' impression.

Optical specialists Continental Eyeware recently contacted us for the loan of a Pillar Box but were in agreeance, 340 kg's of solid cast iron is heavy and not the easiest of items to move! Our unique Victorian replication became the obvious choice... Weighing in at under 30 kg's meant the logistics of siting the Pillar Box at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) was straight forward leaving Continental Eyeware to run their competition. The Pillar Box took centre stage for posting entries!

Our unique VR Pillar Box has been produced from the mould of an original example, thus is an exact emulation. Casting detail such as the quaint VR royal ciper, Post Office raised lettering & foundry name have been recaptured in precise detail.

Perfect for TV period drama ... more
