THE FAMOUS BRITISH PHONE BOX
The red phone box, along with the red post box and the red London bus, is one of the most popular cultural symbols of Britain.
4.1.
The first red boxes appeared in the capital in 1926. Nine years later, a new cheaper version was constructed. It was easier to install in the streets because it was much smaller and lighter to transport. It was also cheaper so it quickly became popular. By the end of the 1930s twenty thousand of the modified red phone boxes were in use all over the UK.

They continued to be widely used for the next 50 years. However, in the 1980s the situation began to change. Most people had their private phones at home so they didn't need public phone boxes. Apart from that, the phone boxes began to age. They were often damaged by vandals and repairing them was very expensive. That is why the traditional red phone boxes started to disappear from the streets of Britain.
4.3.
It seemed like the end of their era because Tony Inglis's transport company got the job of removing the old phone boxes from the streets and selling them at auctions. But Tony ended up buying hundreds of them himself. He thought he could make a business of renovating and selling them to new customers. And soon it turned out he was right. The classic red phone box had become a symbol of Britain so many people wanted to buy them and he could sell them at a very high price.
4.4.
As a result, traditional red phone boxes started coming back to cities and villages. But this time, most of these renovated phone boxes have taken on completely new, sometimes unexpected, roles. Inside many of them, defibrillators have been installed to save lives in case of emergencies. In other phone boxes you can find, for example, small libraries or mini cafés. And in one phone box in the British Virgin Islands, there is even a beach shower!
