K6 on the way out

The iconic red telephone box – so much a symbol of Britain really – is on the way out.
After all, nearly everyone has a mobile now, and British Telecom has developed more efficient (and less smelly!) kiosks since the red 'K6' box first appeared.
It first came out in the 1930s.

BT is now selling off some of the ones it has dismantled.

Any one still in place – like this one at Hilderstone – is safe for now. But its long-term future must be uncertain...

  1. I thought they were made safe a couple of decades ago but admit no-one uses them these days. I saw one yesterday and must go back and photo it now!
