I have learnt that the AA is to close it's roadside telephones. Does anyone know where the old style AA wooden boxes are located? Some,if not all of these are subject to preservation orders' There used to be one on the Kirkstone pass in the Lake District and I recall seeing one in the Exmoor forest on the road between Minehead and Ilfracombe just to the north of Porlock Hill. Is this still there ?

Good old Mr, Wilson (do you remember that catchphrase from Dennis the menace ,American style?) It would seem that those boxes (minus real telephones) that have survived are situated in National parks. Any others folks?
There's one on the A3052 nr Exeter,Devon.Well it was still there last year anyway :-)
AA Box number 530 is on the north side of the A149 just east of Brancaster.
