Half way up a very steep hill, this red telephone box at Curbar has a commanding view.

Looking out over the surrounding hills, local funksters have done something unique.
Where the STD dialing codes and map used to be, there is a wipe clean, vandal proof, laminated map of the village.
Villages in Derbyshire like Curbar tend to be spread out, so the phone box has a helpful map.
Along with a wooden leaflet dispenser, this is a thumbs up FUNKY from us.

The postal address of this telephone box is
Bar Road, (Curbar Hill),
Curbar,
Calver,
Hope Valley,
