Irnham Book Swap (Old Telephone Box)
In 2015 the Parish Council purchased the two redundant ‘phone boxes in the parish, one in Irnham and the other in Bulby. We are delighted they are both now being well used for other purposes.
Irnham Book Swap has proved very popular. From the outset, thanks to the generosity of local people, the shelves were well stocked and our avid local readers and regular visitors to the parish continue to provide a variety of books. As the name suggests people generally borrow a book, placing one or more in exchange. We are very grateful to Mandy who keeps the Book Swap clean and sorts the shelves. Enjoy a good read!
The door comprises a metal frame which holds the glass windows inserted into a wooden door surround. 
Over the years the frame had rusted and rotted the wooden surround.
Luckily there is a company called X2 Connect at Newark who sell spare parts for these boxes and so we were able to purchase a new wooden surround.
The work entailed removing the old door, removing the rusted metal frame from the old wooden surround, restoring the rusted metal frame, inserting it into the new wooden surround and rehanging the door.
RESTORED
The Parish Council are most grateful to a local resident who undertook this work to, once again, ensure the ‘Phone Box is weather proof and continues to offer residents a well-used resource.
