Police Box and Police Post at Crich 

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 TARDIS Tour, this will help me with my TARDIS Build. You showed great details, Thank You!

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.

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

Its smaller 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.

Wow! These are very rare now! Good job!

Awesome! They should have kept these up. Because they look awesome!

That poor little girl at the end was so disappointed that it wasn't a time machine on the inside!

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!

Not sad! Thorough!

The Doctor is in the police box

The first one was so cute!

Many many thanks for this excellent post

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.

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 RU-vid 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

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?

POLICE = BOX = - Public Call

Why can't they bring back the Police box just to be for Decoration only? Or something

Excellent!!

Fantastic

THATS NOT MY TARDIS

:0 THE DOCTOR

Wow !

You sound like the tenth doctor

Wish they thought up the the Police Post thing for the 6th Doctor serial "Attack of the Cybermen"

It's THE TARDIS

What replaced these police boxes?

doctor who ...thatd the only tging i can think of

Is telephone box on the 2nd video real or fake?

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 the channel that ruined your social life and your idea of phone booths

they redecorated i don't like it
