The National Telephone Kiosk Collection & Telephone Museum

The National Telephone Kiosk Collection @ Avoncroft, part of The Communications Museum Trust | The National Telephone Kiosk Collection at Avoncroft Museum is arguably the UKs most complete telecommunications museum where visitors can get a complete history of the public telephone service with a working telephone network connected to four telephone exchanges and every type of telephone kiosk used from 1912 to the present day. The K6 is the most popular red box first introduced in 1935, although the K2 was the first red box to be introduced, design by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. Police boxes such as the Tardis made famous by Dr Who were used before the introduction of the 999 service to give quick access to the emergency services.
