The red telephone box

The red pay phone, a pay phone for an open phone, was a well-known sight in the city of the United Kingdom, Malta, Bermuda and Gibraltar. It was composed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott Despite a diminishment in their numbers as of late, the customary British red phone stand can in any case be seen in numerous spots all through the UK, and in present or previous British provinces around the globe.

The shading red was made them simple to spot. The paint shading utilized most broadly today is known as "currant red" and is characterized by a British Standard.

In 1968 this slightly brighter red was introduced with the K8 model but went on to be used across the estate on previous models too.
