Woman rescued from telephone box in Peacehaven
9:00am Wednesday 15th September 2010 in News By Ruth Lumley
A woman had to be rescued from a telephone box after she became trapped inside.
An East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service crew from Newhaven was called to the phone box opposite the Good Companion pub, in Roderick Avenue, Peacehaven, at about 8pm yesterday.
A metal panel on the ceiling of the phone box had dropped slightly, catching the door's opening and closing mechanism.
A fire service spokesman said: “The woman was trapped in the phone box for about 40 minutes and it took us about 15 seconds to get her out. She was unharmed.”

How about the council's lack of care and interest in the upkeep of our area? We've contacte dthe argus about that in the past, and lo and behold? NO Interest.

That film 'The Telephone Box'...one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. Only ever seen it once...never again!!!
More horror in that short film than anything I have ever seen since.
From slapstick to .. well, all who have seen have never forgotten.
There is (used to be) a telephone box grave yard on the train to London Bridge from Brighton, if you glanced left at a certain point ... always brought that film right back to mind.
