British Telecom have removed some 30,000 telephone boxes from the countryside of the United Kingdom since 2002. So when the RTB in Loppergarth, near ulverston was due for closure in early 2009 the local parish council decided to buy the redundant box from BT. the agreed price was £1 ($1.50)
They have turned this box into a local information booth which can be enjoyed by the visitors to the village.
