Over the passing decades, the traditional red phone box has undergone
many re-designs and revamps. The version below is a K6, Jubilee Model.
Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to commemorate the Silver Jubilee
of King George V in 1935, the K6 soon became the most famous and best
loved of all of Britain's telephone boxes. The 'real' phone box, shown
left, is a bit battered and neglected, but the glass panes remain unbroken,a
nd the phone line is clear, crisp and ready for emergencies, both large
and small.
