Looking down St Anns Road to its junction with Worcester Road outside the timber framed Unicorn pub. The green box on the right is known as a "Lucy box" - though this one (by its design and decoration) is probably made by Hardy & Padmore Ltd, Worcester and not by the Oxford company Lucy. The boxes are usually associated with the distribution of electricity though some are thought to have been converted for telephone connections. http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/articles/lucy/lucyboxes2.htm Image Image
