They have to be saved Wes, I don't care what happens with them as long as they are looked after somewhere, we are losing too much history these days.

Hats off to the people that organised it!

Saltash council turned down the BT offer to have a phone box. Could have been used as the book box. Dunno if the box is still there. Will find out, might buy it if available.
