StoneRoad2013's photos with the keyword: red telephone box

Red telephone box, with separate phone and cash box (first used in 1925, and began to be phased out in the late 1950s) The Button A and Button B payphones, connected callers via an operator on insertion of the call fee. The caller then pushed Button A to deposit the coins and make the connection. If a call could not be connected for some reason, or if there was no reply, Button B was pushed and all the coins were returned. During the 1960s the development of STD exchanges altered the cash requirements significantly and the design of payphones also changed.
