The Classic Red Phone Box



Every instance of this photo I've found on the internet has it as London in the late 1930s, but I think that's wrong. The K6 telephone kiosk, shown here being installed, was introduced in 1936 but, as far as I can tell, the installation trailer being used is the one that was introduced in 1953.
The K6 was the first kiosk to be widely installed outside the capitol, so it may not be London either.


Original B&W photo.
