‘I don’t want it to die’: one man’s battle to save the last #phonebox in his village

In 1935, Derek Harris was born – and so was the K6 red phone box. Now, Harris is spending his 90th year ensuring this beloved local facility isn’t lost
In the village of Sharrington...
The battleground at the heart of a struggle between an 89-year-old man and a multi-billion pound multinational is a small junction in a Norfolk village, where a red phone box stands.

I wonder when was the last time this phone box on Dumbarton Road near Glasgow University was used? Well for making a phone call at any rate! Can the company which own this, and other such seemingly abandoned public phone boxes, not be forced to maintain them rather than leaving them to get into such a decrepit state?

A K6 Red Telephone Kiosk on Lochlea Road on the Southside of Glasgow. It was designed in 1935 by Giles Gilbert Scott, the grandson of George Gilbert Scott who designed the main buildings of Glasgow University in the 1860s. This particular kiosk was made at Walter MacFarlane's Saracen Foundry in the Possilpark area of Glasgow.
