SHUTFORD's NEW (OLD) PHONE BOX - THE PLANTING CEREMONY
|
Whilst cycling through the village the other day, it struck me that we now possess a complete timeline of telecomms equipment along the length of the High Street. I doubt many villages can say the same!
At the West Street end, we have our latest superfast (and - as yet - unused ) Broadband equipment, from where we can step back through time via various equipment arranged in chronological order, until we arrive at our recently-restored K6 red phone box which was recently relocated at Jame Corner after 15 years in storage. 
|
This notable event is due, in no small part, to the efforts of a number of village residents over the past couple of years. The pictures here show our much-loved phone box being planted in its new home and a note from the Shutford Community Association marking the event can be downloaded here. |
ROMP Update
In an historic decision, the Secretary of State has placed an order "prohibiting the resumption of the winning and the working of minerals" in our area.
As a community, we should be eternally grateful to a number of individuals from Shutford (they know who they are!) and other neighbouring villages, all of whom worked tirelessly and diligently in order to overcome the very real threat that was hanging over the village and the beautiful countryside around us.
The full details of the decision can be downloaded here.
