This is a normal post The real one
ain't quite the same as the ones on the streets of Edinburgh..

Is it possible that in real life the design varied? Humm? Bumm?

This is a normal post Yeh I thought it looked like one of them extendable antennae jobbies,
I cut it off in this piccy 'cos it was obviously not the original light and would just confuse matters...

This is a normal post Tardis design
Covered nicely here - www.themindrobber.co.uk/real-police-box-history.html . The Edinbugger ones - www.edinphoto.org.uk/0_my_p_0/0_my_photographs_0_edinburgh_police_boxes.htm or www.flickr.com/photos/photojoy/sets/706576/ the standard Edinburgh police box was designed by City Architect Ebenezer James MacRae and his assistants A Rollo and J A Tweedie, 1930-31 as it was reckoned that Edinburgh needed that extra bit of quality for its street furniture compared to the rest of the UK (or probably just Glasgow).
