Ive often thought about that when fitting boxes to old buildings. The ticket office for West Pier got me thinking, the building was 150 years old so it got me wondering how long my bell box would be there for. Sadly the foockers knocked the building down so they could put up the very unsuccessful i360.

I currently think of the business there once was, say a regional alarm co. or a regional bakers...

 

Google results for thing that where once everywhere can be quite sparse

The black triangle bell box is the high security bell box it as two covers and extra anti tampers switch’s on
