Re: Who remembers those blue Police boxes?
We had quite a few around the outskirts of Middlesbrough when I was a kid.
I must have been taken and held in most of them.
They were for holding the suspects with me it was because I was a runaway and they had a black phone to get in touch with the local police stations.
Yes they were locked and they at onetime were a bit of a landmark.
For what its worth they were better than the police stations because you could not get out of them unless the copper let you out.
Whilst the police stations were a joke at that time they would sit you down next to the front door and when the copper behind the desk turned away you could just walk out and be on the run again.
Happy days.
