Bobby and Police Box - a photo on Flickriver

Bobby and Police Box

            An old style British policeman - or bobby - with his bicycle and traditional Police Box, aka Tardis. Made famous as a star of the TV show Dr Who, the blue Police Box was once a familiar sight in the towns and cities of the UK. Inside was a telephone, enabling the bobby to keep in touch with 'the office' and also was available for the public to use if they needed to contact the police in the days before all homes had phones.

This is seen in the centre of Lincoln as part of their 1940s weekend during the end of May 2015.

My images are processed to look good on my laptop, and they do look good on there - and on my phone and tablet - I am aware though that some other screens will show my images as either too dark or indeed too light. This is due to individual screen settings and not my inability to produce a clear image ....
