That's beautiful. I remember seeing these dotted around the City of London in the early 1980s and an officer using the one outside Bank Underground station.
Thank you for the look on the inside of the tardis I didn’t realize they were made out of concrete until a while ago. And a little police box have never seen before
Looks like the Doctor has to work on the Chameleon Circuit again on the first box since it is malfunctioning even more so than usual. Glad that this one was kept since my understanding is that the police boxes were destroyed and only a few were kept around.
What we don't see is... As they walked away chatting, happy they'd got to see inside and got some good photos they looked back at it.... & it had vanished. True story.
Half the internal space in a police box was taken up with a shelf that acted as a desk. Half the remaining space was taken up with a stool. The only way to get inside was for the door to open outwards. Although they were primarily a place for an officer on the beat to rest and write up notes, they could also be used as temporary jails, and it's easier to close a door on an uncooperative person by pushing than pulling.
Among all the remaining Mark 2 Trench boxes, this Is the one the BBC should meticulously replicate (sans the conspicuously inappropriately turned around entrance door) as the Tardis prop and scale models for their 12th Doctor --Who-ever the actor turns out is one who lands the role. It would mark to the very first time in the history of Doctor Who that the Tardis would actually be an actual copy of a real Metropolitan Public Police Call Box!
I went to the Crich Tramway Village during my holiday over a week ago. They've repainted the Police Box since then. I took some footage and stills while I was there. I will be uploading them onto TH-cam tomorrow as tomorrow is my birthday.
Fascinating! I've seen a few modest resolution photos of this particular box, put your video really brings it to life. I wonder why the door was "slipped"? I mean, its fairly obvious which side should face outward. Is it possible the regions where the hinges should have been mounted have become too worn, rotted or weak to properly support the screws, forcing whomever to use the opposite edge? One element that has been missing from the 2005 (and newer) props has been the "molding" of the columns, that slightly recessed curved feature grooved into each corner post. Without it, the official set pieces look, well, a bit "slap dash". Finally, thanks for pointing out the majority of the box was cast in concrete, with only the right side door (and the window frames) being composed of wood. That honestly surprised me when I read about the real McKenzie/Trench Mark II boxes. It's a near miracle the thing didn't crack or outright crumble when it was relocated to the station. Those things were obviously meant to stay were they were erected. Sincerely, Bill
Hi Bill. It used to be thought that the backwards door was a quirk of the Crich box, but research on the Tardis Builders Forum has shown that this seems to be common to a particular version of box design. There are other photos of other boxes with the same weird reversed door.
This is what I imagine someone sees if they ever look through the outside windows of the Doctor's TARDIS - - - A replica of a police box interior. If you threw a piece of crunched up paper inside this space, you could get it back if you had a fishing hook, maybe. Only the Doctor could get it back as going through the TARDIS doors takes you into the ship and not this other "interior space" which is part of the camouflage. I'm in the United States. Where exactly is this one located? Derbyshire?
Yes, in a place called the "Crich Tramway Village". It's an outdoor tram museum made up to look like a typical Northern English town at the turn of the Century. Though since this is a London Metropolitan Police Box, I've no idea why they decided to put it into a Derbyshire village (where it would never have been). But I'm glad they did.

Thank you for the TARDIS Tour, this will help me with my TARDIS Build. You showed great details, Thank You!
So many of us building these here in the U.S. we might just have them on every block soon, L-O-L !!

It's been said that some were so solid that they could only be demolished with explosives.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 ..the tardis was indestructible after all

Wow! These are very rare now! Good job!
That poor little girl at the end was so disappointed that it wasn't a time machine on the inside!
What we don't see is... As they walked away chatting, happy they'd got to see inside and got some good photos they looked back at it.... & it had vanished. True story.
Awesome! They should have kept these up. Because they look awesome!
Its smaller on the inside.
transtremm Okay, that IS a first.
bigger on the outside!!
The first one was so cute!

There were quite a lot of police posts (the mini TARDIS at the start) still around when I spent a week in London in 1983.
The Doctor is in the police box

Not sad! Thorough!

Many many thanks for this excellent post
Fantastic

@@lorisarvendu I'm sure that when I went there over twenty years ago (Strewth, it can't be!) the door was the right way around.
Wow !
Excellent!!

Why can't they bring back the Police box just to be for Decoration only? Or something
@steve gale that's the boscombe one, which is absolutely crap
POLICE = BOX
= - Public Call
THATS NOT MY TARDIS
You sound like the tenth doctor
Wish they thought up the the Police Post thing for the 6th Doctor serial "Attack of the Cybermen"
:0 THE DOCTOR
It's THE TARDIS
Stop saying it's the TARDIS! That's what the TARDIS was based on! When Dr Who was first broadcasted, these were a common sight!
doctor who ...thatd the only tging i can think of
What replaced these police boxes?
Cell phones
TARDIS de baixar orçamento
Is telephone box on the 2nd video real or fake?
Real. It was moved from London to the Crich Tramway Museum. www.tramway.co.uk/
@@lorisarvendu The phone looks 70's style to me, though I'm not an expert, wouldn't it originally had a phone similar to the black one we see inside?
they redecorated i don't like it
Doctor who the channel that ruined your social life and your idea of phone booths
No, it was Superman that ruined my expectations of phone booths...
