Like post boxes, phone boxes were once ubiquitous. This summer, artist Ciara Rodgers captured the last battered and graffitied phone boxes still clinging to the streets of Cork.
A lovely tribute and it's sad to see the phone boxes awaiting their fate. The only means of communication when I was young. I remember waiting in line to make a phone call in all kinds of weather. Waiting for a call was the worse experience as someone else could be on the phone at the time of your expected incoming call.
There were actual phone books in the old boxes. Dog-eared and well used, but never abused. You could look up a number! And the Golden Pages, probably worth a fortune on eBay now.
