Day 6: Today we began installing the inside of the phone box. There are now shelves for books and leaflets and an interactive display board which shows a map of the parish that displays important information about the area. The phone box restoration is now almost complete and will soon be officially open to the public.

Day 2: Today the three of us began to paint the phone box. We have applied the first coat of red paint to the inside and the outside of the phone box. We also moved the phone box back into it's correct position so it now fits onto it's plinth. If you are planning on visiting the phone box soon, please be aware that the paint is still wet.

Day 1: Today we stripped the paint and cleaned the windows. We removed the brambles from behind the box and cleaned the inside before painting the ceiling and starting to paint the door. Thank you also to the family who live next to the phone box for letting us use their power washer.
