 Uses for redundant telephone boxes

A Defibrillator in Brockham
A History Box in Leigh
A Tourist Information Box in Slinford.
A Library Box also in Slinfold.

A joint Book and Game Swap Box with a Garden Centre with free plants in a box outside located in Petworth.

Another joint use of a Defibrillator and Library Box in Wisborough Green.

And a rare sight,  a box with a telephone in it! This one was in Nuthurst but I found another box with a telephone in Kirdford and another outside Horsham Railway station. 

Another Book Swap Box in Rusper but the difference here is that the top glass panel which would have read as 'Telephone' has been replaced with the name of the village and the crown above picked out in gold with The Star in the background, one of the two pubs in the village. 


A box without the windows being used as a giant flower pot in Russ Hill. 

A box next to St John's in West Green Crawley being used as a local community notice board and unusually, and unlike most former telephone boxes, it was locked.
.
So over the last few weeks, the score is Telephones 3. Other Uses 9 (including a Book Swap in Colgate).
