Found this colour Hull box picture while looking for a Halifax box. Another one with a black and white finish or possibly just the natural timber? Nice photo anyway.

Existing Police box Alert!

The box is still visible (just) on 2019 street view. Unfortunately a 2015 planning application was granted for the site so it many have gone by now. I sincerely hope not. The planned development has no sign of the box on their plans nor did they mention that a very rare police box is standing on the site.

Here's a pic from the application just referred to as a shed. I have found the current owners.
