Communities in the Stamford, Rutland and Bourne areas invited to adopt a phone box
| Updated: 13:49, 15 March 2021
Whether they fancy turning it into a miniature library, a museum or a defibrillator store, communities can adopt an iconic red phone box for £1.
The first red phone boxes appeared in 1926, but most of these and the more modern glass kiosks have been retired from service as people rely on mobile phones.
Since 2008, 784 phone boxes in the East Midlands have been taken on by their communities, but several remain available.
A book exchange is another popular re-use for old phone boxes
These can be found in High Street and Broad Street in Stamford, Market Place in Oakham, Market Place in Market Deeping, Morton, Greatford, Witham-on-the-Hill, Edenham, Grimsthorpe, Braceborough, Market Overton, Ayston, Lyddington, North Luffenham, Little Casterton, Swinstead, Folkingham, Pickworth, and Aslackby.
