Number 1433 in a series of caches where a red telephone box is in close proximity to a post box.
The only rules are that they have to be able to be photographed together, be not more than 100’ apart and the phone boxes have to be red.
This fine pair is on the road from Woodditton through to Saxon Street.
The village of Saxon Street may have originated as an Anglo-Saxon settlement alongside the Roman road, Icknield Way, which is close by. Domesday Book has the village named as Sextone (or the 'tun' of the Saxons), and it is written as Saxham in later documents. Saxon Street was once thought of as 'a considerable hamlet of Woodditton' and although Saxon Street is part of Woodditton parish, it has the feeling of a separate village 'street' with a series of very well-kept old properties looked after by a caring community.
