'Sentry Boxes'

(1/4) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
Whilst out on my bike this afternoon.
On my way home, I passed a electricity pole (the telephone pole type)

Even though I've passed it 'umpteen times' before, I'll admit I've never noticed the  (green) 'sentry box' at the base containing the switch gear/relays (well, I'll assume that's what the contents are)

It was roughly here


Is it a survivor from the past, or are they still in common use in other places??

Still used, infact growing in numbers where cable broadband is expanding, though modern ones are steel sheet not cast.

No, this one is quite literally the size of a (stereo-typical) Sentry box & is faded green wood.

I meant to photograph it this morning whilst I was out on the bike, but didn't go that way

Be interested to see them when you do!

Bush Tucker Man:
I'll try to do so one morning this week

I think I'm riding down to HolmeMoss tomorrow.
If not & I end up in the area of the box, I'll take a picture (so ong as I remember to take the camera in the mini saddle-bag
