As far as I can tell it's been out of use for a while - there is no phone inside - and it reeks of pish!

I only arrived at the Dalzell works 6 weeks ago - so can't say for definite when it stopped being a phone

A bit to go yet!!


Having a go at the interior and wondered if anyody had any idea where to find the table of dialling codes from Glasgow. Can source the frame OK but so far have only found codes from London. Given both mine and the box's origins it would be nice to have the Glasgow ones.
