Phone Box Book Exchange
Thank you to everyone who has brought along their favourite novels, non-fiction books about climate change, health and financial advisory manuals, walking and destination magazines to our K6 red phone box!
The phone is still in operation until it’s confirmed that it is no longer needed, and so we are using the old directory shelves but hoping to expand in future. On a recent trip to Cornwall, I photographed a K6 that had a gallery of village photos across the years, an information board as well as a small library – reminding me of the old joke, ‘How many people can you get in a red phone box?’. We may have to go inside one at a time, but there is great potential in this small space! Please visit our Grade II listed K6, which even has its own Historic England webpage.
