Two BT telephone boxes in Arthur Street. The one nearest the camera carries an advertisement warning about the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning from certain heating appliances. This is part of a campaign following several deaths locally. To quote the official website “Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, poisonous gas produced by incomplete burning of carbon-based fuels, including gas, oil, wood and coal. Carbon-based fuels are safe to use. It is only when the fuel does not burn properly that excess CO is produced, which is poisonous. When CO enters the body, it prevents the blood from bringing oxygen to cells, tissues, and organs. You can't see it, taste it or smell it but CO can kill quickly without warning. If you have appliances that use fossil fuels, make sure they are serviced and maintained regularly and by a competent person.”
