telephone box

Freestanding square-plan pre-fabricated concrete phone box, erected c.1965, no longer in use. Pre-fabricated moulded concrete roof. Square-headed openings to east and west with eighteen light windows, having square headed entrance (south) with timber glazed door.

An increasingly rare reminder of a time before the ownership of mobile phones and domestic landlines, this well-kept telephone box is an interesting feature in the streetscape. The simple form is enhanced by the decorative lettering and the small panes of glazing. Mid twentieth century boxes such as this are becoming increasingly rare.
