Rodborough – a vibrant community

We are very grateful to Rodborough Parish Council for a generous donation that has enabled us to set up this website.

The grant awards evening was an uplifting experience; Rodborough has so many active community groups, among them the Butterrow Book Group, who have adopted the redundant phone box on Rodborough Lane (It has been bought by the Parish Council) and will be converted to a book share kiosk. It dates from somewhere between 1936 and 1952. Does anyone know?

It’s interesting to reflect that photographing what we think of as ordinary may have huge historical value.

This photo was taken in 2012 as a modern day comparison to …..
…this photo of Butterrow Pike pre-phone box.

Also spotted and both in use, were two phone boxes in Dudbridge

Dudbridge Hill. The Police car registration dates from 1987. Note the man on the roof and the apparent lack of any safety precautions!
