Dear Remember When UK. Thank you for your web-site, it is interesting. I am manager of internet-shop vaxa.ru. Can you help me? We are looking for a letter box, that is fixed ON a wall (but not IN a wall). We suppose it's dimensions are about 70 inches heigh, 35 inches width and 5 inches deep. It may be restored vintage letter box (iron) or modern copy(plastic). HAGO

Hi i've just been on your excellent site and notice you sell k6 spares. I've got to take the window side panels off the k6 to make it lighter, the screws are rusted and we can't shift them! Do we drill them( what size drill bit) out or do you have any ideas. I shall be ordering spares at a later stage, thanks.

Dear anyone,

I am writing to you as a Springfield High School wood working student. Our program is one of the most elite programs in the US and is recognized for our student projects in word working magazines around the world.
I personally this year am attempting to remake an old vintage British styled phone booth with an original phone and fully functional walk in booth. Do you have an suggestions for me to obtain/make a rounded top piece for my booth? (this piece is very difficult to make out of wood especially under our time constrictions).

Any thing at all would be greatly appreciated, even any plans or specific directions, pictures, measurements that would help me immensly.

What a great site and photos, i have enjoyed immensely looking and studying all your photos on the k6 kiosks. I have the wooden red phone box here in Australia which was obviously modelled off your cast k6 booths. Gee they are nice, but i think the cost to Australia would be extreme!! Do you have any of the A & B payphones like the one in the picture for sale as they are the same as were in use here. regards Graham

After investigating several firms, and local salvage yards (whom many asked well over the odds) It soon became apparent that Carl offered a service that was unbeatable in terms of cost and also sheer friendliness! He was able to deliver & install a fully glazed unrestored K6 on the drive, with delivery from Kings Lynn to Derby at the same price a local salvage firm was able to do for an example in poor condition. The E-mail's just started to flow. It was soon evident that Carl was driven to restore these iconic items through true passion, and rightfully takes pride in the service he offered. I also recognised that underneath the professionalism, there is a superb sense of humour and nothing is too much trouble.

If you are planning on acquiring a K6, look no further!

Hi - great site. Can you advise the best thing to use to clean and old Fry's Cocoa sign I have found when I moved house. It seems to be covered in 50 years worth of grime, oil and black. I am wary in case I damage the original colours by scrubbing. Any tips to rescue this advert would be most welcome. Thanks

'We purchased a 1955 restored K6 telephone box from Carl Burge at 'Remember When UK' and would thoroughly recommend his services. Carl is extremely personable and most helpful, nothing is too much trouble. He operates with traditional values where courtesy and customer care are foremost, sadly all too often forgotten nowadays. The boxes themselves are beautifully presented and ours looks better in situ than we ever imagined. Our little girl Megan (2 & a half years) loves it too! A huge thanks also to Will Chipchase who delivered the box and skilfully placed it. Will has his technique with the Hiab developed to an artform and did a fine job. We would highly recommend 'Remember When UK' to anyone looking to buy a piece of nostalgia and are sure that we will use them again for other items'.

Great site. I will bookmark for my sons to view as well!!!

Really great to see all these - much forgotten - items. Brilliant site - well done.
