Taxi for Mr Smith – Art Print

Taxi for Mr Smith – Art Print

This artwork celebrates a piece of Warrington’s cultural history — the K4 red phone box that once stood proudly outside the iconic Mr Smith’s nightclub. For many locals, it’s a symbol of unforgettable nights out, music, and the vibrant energy that once filled the River Mersey waterfront.

Mr Smith’s opened in the 1970s and became one of the North West’s best-known nightclubs, drawing in crowds from across the region. It was famously featured in the 1980s TV show The Hitman and Her, hosted by Pete Waterman and Michaela Strachan, which brought the club’s electric atmosphere to living rooms across the UK.

The K4 phone box — a rare 1930s design that cleverly combined a telephone kiosk, post box, and stamp machine — stood right outside, becoming an unintentional landmark for nights that started (and sometimes ended) there.

Digitally illustrated with fine architectural detail and warm colour, this piece captures both the nostalgia and the urban charm of a place that’s now part of Warrington’s story.
