Britain’s famous old telephone boxes are usually bright red but in Kingston-Upon-Hull (better known to its friends as just plain Hull) they are white. For some obscure reason, Hull got left out when municipal phone companies in the UK were consolidated under Post Office ownership. These examples are in the pretty nearby town of Beverley rather than in Hull itself. I like the way the illuminated white box (right) gives off a ghostly vibe on a dank autumn evening. #Hull #dwprovincialbritain
@davidwilkins Very tangentially: I think that town of Beverley might be the reason UK media misspell Beverly Hills more frequently than I'd expect.
@Holberg Possibly! It’s a very nice place but very understated compared with BH…
