VoR[19] - AA box

VoR[19] - AA box
The old AA (Automobile Association) sentry telephone box [ ID No. 289] at Devil's Bridge. One of only 18 still preserved in their original location, another 12 or so, plus another 8 of the RAC equivalents have been relocated to Museums and the like.

[These boxes - over 1000 - were dotted all over the UK, AA members had a key that gave them access to the interior and an emergency telephone - these days, modern mobile 'phones have largely superseded this system, and the AA itself is no longer a private members organisation but a commercial company offering roadside assistance, insurance for a price]

Dissémination de ce qui fût un service public utile et nécessaire. Technologie oblige tout se modernise..Les musées feront la suite pour l'histoire
