Phone Box
Many of you will have passed our K6 'phone box at the east end of the village and seen its transformation during recent weeks. This is entirely due to the hard work of 'Barry of The Bield', who has stripped all the flaking old paint away and done a great job repainting the box. The latest from Barry is that he has further painting to complete on the inside… some cupids on the ceiling perhaps?!... but as you will know, the emergency phone has been retained and is fully operational. Many thanks Barry! Please visit our Grade II listed K6, which even has its own Historic England webpage.
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 phone box!
