Oxford Police Box

The only surviving police box in Oxford attached to this former police house. This is one of four built, all the house still exist but this is the only one with its box. The fifth box was the one above, now demolished. A sixth box was built on a police house in the 50s but was never used. It also no longer exists.

The owner of the site wants to demolish both the houses and the box. Their 2020 planning application was rejected and I have written to the planning officer and told her what the box is.

I’m going to guess that’s an original window facing the road and the white panel underneath was the speaker phone. The old light above the window hanging off may well be its signal light.
