Iconic red telephone boxes, commonplace across the UK for decades, are being offered to local authories for just £1.
While the increased popularity and coverage of mobile phones has made traditional phone boxes almost entirely redundant, with BT announcing that 4,000 phone boxes are up for grabs.
However, there are a number of useful ways they can be refurbished to serve the communities they’re in.
Though they are now rarely used for their intended purpose, red phone boxes have been repurposed as book exchanges, art galleries, museums and more. They’re often also used as storage for life saving defibrillator units.
