Blood red
This week's Saturday Timewatch only goes back a few years but it goes back to an era when red telephone boxes were commonly seen and used everywhere in the UK. Their demise has been nothing short of rapid. Indeed this box was still shown on the 2003 Ordnance Survey and I suspect continued in business for at least another decade.
Near Langton Matravers, Purbeck, Dorset, this telephone no longer operates. However, the K6 box itself has been lovingly restored by Burngate, an adjacent stone carving centre. Inside there is a nice poem, though I cannot find anything about the author.
