The traditional UK telephone box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert-Scott in the 1920's. Gilbert-Scott had suggested that telephone boxes should be silver-coloured, but the Post Office (which at that time included the telephone service for most parts of the UK) decided that telephone boxes should be red.
However, there were a few exceptions, where it was felt that a red box would detract from the scenery.
The telephone box at Exceat has been green for decades - except for a few times when it has been demolished by road traffic accidents, and a red one has been put up as a temporary measure.
