Something is wrong with this picture; and no, I have not been cutting and pasting! The yellow building is an old Swedish railway station, now a business office. They’ve done a good job of renovating the old station house. But the red telephone booth outside is of British model! I’m afraid I have no clue to WHY. (It’s empty – no phone inside!)
I think it must a recent addition, since I’ve not noticed it before. After a bit of research on the internet, I can only assume that it must be one of the 60 that British Telecom decided to sell a few months ago.
If there was originally a telephone booth outside that station house, it’s far more likely to have been one of these:

maybe they consider it ART... i like the Swedish one much better. like that old building to
ReplyDeleteMuch as I love opur K6 telephone boxes it looks very out of place there. Art? I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteI agree - it does look out of place. I have to say I'm surprised they even got permission to put it up. (But perhaps there are no rules that can be applied...)
DeleteYours are better but I do like the colour here. Yours must have been hellish drafty in winter. Beautiful picture.
ReplyDeleteThere was a few of the red phone-booth here too, it's used as decorations only,there's no phone.
ReplyDeleteoh, I would dearly love to have the red telephone box! I would use it for storage. I just have always love them, don't know why. And your Swedish phone booth would make a lovely garden accessory.
ReplyDeleteYou seldom see these anymore.
