Walked around Burritor reservoir and then drove to Princetown. Dartmoor. Pics of Dartmoor Prison. Two bridges pub. A phone box the kray twins met Frank Mitchell at after his escape from Dartmoor jail in 1966. Now sat eating a lemon slice and enjoy the view at dusk. Its peaceful and beautiful.

@ArishMell No. The jail is recently shut due to radon. Yet still has contractors etc etc in there lol. And the phone boxes are around. Ive only see just one working though. Most are empty or used for book swaps.
@Perry1968 Oh, I thought Dartmoor Prison had closed a long time ago. The hazard from radon is real but the risks probably much lower to contractors than to prisoners, simply by much shorter exposure.
Yes, there are many phone-boxes still about, unused, as swap libraries or housing defibriilators, but I meant ones still holding fully functional telephones.
@ArishMell No. Very very few functional phone boxes now. There is one. I still remember the number to it 😆 This is one from a kid. Its 01752 562511 Its based at pottery rd. Devonport. Plymouth. The area i grew up in as a child. Thats the only functioning one i know of tbh. Not that you wanted the number 😄 It just NEVER leaves my mind. I used to ring my then girlfriend from it. She later became my wife 25 years.
