The Police Box

Police often used the "police box" as a drop off, sort of a mini jail, until they could locate the criminal to a proper jail cell. They were also used for telephone calls before the creation of the cell phone.  The police box, wasn't just a box for the police, it was also made for the public's use. Originally red, these tall structures are now commonly known to be blue.

  1. I didn't know this about police boxes - a very interesting fact. I have often wondered since the invention of cell phones where Superman changes into his super cape though.
