This Red phone box outside a historic Sub Post Office, in Bletchley Park, now stands empty. ( Not sure if phone was removed for repair.)
"During the war years the building served as a mailroom for the 12,000 people involved in top-secret code breaking operations. To maintain secrecy an undercover postal address was used: PO Box 111 Bletchley. The secret was so well kept that the majority of those that worked there said nothing about their work until a 1998 TV documentary revealed all.
Bletchley Park Post Office now.
In 1994 Bletchley Park was saved from demolition and opened as a heritage site. The little post office became the gift shop but visitor facilities and exhibits have improved significantly since then. So now it is a re-creation of a 1940’s sub post office and a respected publisher of limited edition first day covers. These covers are very collectable and some fetch £00’s at auction. The income helps support the preservation of Bletchley Park." Text source: (
