Isle of Man Kiosk
As seen in our short documentary on the home page, the reasons that our customers
ask for our services are so divers and this trip is no exception!

The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company Skipper, Mr Dermot O'Toole, purchased from (Manx) BT
the kiosk from his childhood and we were privileged to be asked to restore it complete with Jubilee interior
and return it to the isle to take up its proud place in Dermot's garden.

As an aside, we are helping the Glucestershire Warwickshire Railway restore a kiosk for their station.

More details to follow shortly.


With Jubilee Interior

Cheltenham Races
Next time you go to the races at Cheltenham, you might notice a red phone kiosk that we put there!

A handy place to call someone for a hot tip!

Ideal Home Exhibition, Earls Court


At the Ideal Home Show
Having been privileged to be asked to restore and install a kiosk for the 2008 IDH Exhibition by BT Heritage, on behalf of the show organisers and Johnstone Events, imagine how pleased we were to be able to deliver and install a K6 with Jubilee interior to the Exhibition halls last Sunday, ready for the show opening earlier today.

We hope that it brings pleasant memories to those *young* enough to remember the "jubilee" and similarly will enlighten the *even younger * visitors as to how people comunicated, all those years ago.

Thank you to all concerned for the privilege of providing this kiosk.

Amanda Holdens Box ( A Pressie for Chris)
Imagine our surprise and exitement, when not only were we asked to provide a kiosk for amanda to give to her fiance, Chris for Christmas, but were challenged with turning it into a functional office for him. That was when the "can do" philosophy that we all have here at English Phone boxes, had to be firmly applied. Imagine then our further head scratching, when asked if we could power it up with Solar panels. Game on!!!.
Our engineer Kev, (he"s the grisly adams in the photo),set about brainstorming the metal work.
Our good freind Owen, from Ambisol, here in Gloucester, a genius who gets his spare time kicks, playing with LED"s, set about applying his "light refraction through acrylic" principles to lighting the office.

Certainly Amanda and Chris were suitably pleased. Pleased enough to insist on spending an hour with me and the lads at our Hotel, the most hospitable King William 1V, at Sedgeford.

Ill let you decide wether their efforts were successful.
Check out the pics.

Sir Giles Gilbert Scott
Just a quick note( - now that I've got my Blog working ) to say how privileged we were here at EPB to have been asked to provide a MK1 K6 for the opening of the recently restored Sir Giles Gilbert Scott building at Putney.

My team did us proud!

Butterfly Garden Charity Day
I'd like to expressmy gratitude to all the people who contributed both financially and in terms of their time. Chris Evans of the Butterfly Project(helping local disabled children) was delighted to receive over £2000 from the local community to provide wheelchair access to the garden and expand the garden to allow increased involvement.

Here's a link to their site :
