Defibrillator telephone box, Crossgar
Defibrillator telephone box, Crossgar
The box on the left (at the corner of Downpatrick Street and the Station Road) holds an automated external defibrillator which can be used, under instruction from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, by dialling 999. The box is a joint venture between Queen’s University, a local doctor, Down District Council, the British Red Cross, BT and local residents who raised £4,000. The one on the right is a conventional BT telephone box.
Telephone boxes, Northern Ireland

A series of photographs showing some of the public telephone boxes in Northern Ireland. With the widespread ownership of mobiles the use of the public phone had declined. I have a notion that they will become like railways – still some left but most closed.

Note added 16 February 2019 - some BT boxes will be replaced by InLink kiosks.
