Old Red Phone Box

Phone Box In Alport Village.Derbyshire.UK

Photo Express Colour Edited.

The red telephone box, a public telephone kiosk designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, is a familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom, Malta, Bermuda and Gibraltar, and despite a reduction in their numbers in recent years, red boxes can still be seen in many places and current or ex-British Colonies around the world. The colour red was chosen to make them easy to spot.

    Wonderful. I got a shot of one the other day, sad, neglected, windows broken. Never mind, let’s “improve” on something perfect & iconic & put up a drab, boring standardised box.
    A lovely capture, so peaceful and serene. I hope it has many, many more years to contemplate the world passing by it.
