Description
Freestanding moulded concrete telephone box, c.1950, now disused. Painted walls, moulded concrete cap and plinth, with fixed small pane glazed panels and glazed timber door.
Appraisal
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.
