Yard for red phone boxes

[annie]

The red telephone box is a much-cherished symbol of Britishness. But most have been removed from the nation's streets, with more due to disappear. Where do they all go?

They're battered, rusting and flaky, some having stood in the sun, rain, wind and snow without any attention for three decades.

A few have weeds poking through gaps that once housed glass panels. Row after row of retired red telephone boxes remain in a yard near Merstham, Surrey, awaiting their fate. In a few weeks, maybe a few years, they will begin an afterlife - abroad, or, more likely, in British gardens.

Staff at Unicorn Restorations spend up to 30 hours stripping old kiosks, repainting them in the same shades of red once stipulated by the General Post Office and putting in new glass

I would love one in my garden, a few weeks ago we went to Bawdeswell, a village in Norfolk and the red phone box there was a Library.

We have a phone box in Newcastle that is a cash machine, I would love one in my garden but unfortunately my garden is not big enough.
