Is this the loneliest phone box in Britain?

Pete Bainbridge

TALK about a dead ringer ... It could be the end of the line for Macclesfield’s loneliest phone box after only ONE call was made from it in a year.

The Woodford Road kiosk, in Poynton, is set for demolition after receiving its single solitary visitor – reflecting a national decline in public telephone use.

   I can see the need to get rid of the one on Woodford Road but I feel sorry for the Dickens Road booth, 944 calls over a year seems pretty respectable to me.
