NEWS // Nine rare K8 phone boxes in Yorkshire have just been Grade II listed, following a long-running campaign by C20. Significantly, this also takes the total number of postwar listed buildings, structures and public artworks in England beyond 1,000. buff.ly/3J6K4I3

K8 boxes are last in the line of classics, say campaigners as nine still in working order get heritage protection

Twitter hunters: Can you help to find this K8 kiosk? Photographed in 1983 on it's journey to one of the Scottish Isles, we're trying to identify the destination and see if it still exists today!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The K8 phonebox: not as popular as the iconic K6, the K8 was introduced in the UK in 1968 designed by Bruce Martin. There are still some @KCOMhome cream ones in #Hull & East Yorkshire if you look closely on your #lockdown walk.... – at Swanland, England

The iconic K6: designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V in 1935. In #Hull ours are cream (not red) & have the crown at the top removed given @KCOMhome was council owned & not part of the Post Office, an agency of UK Govt #onlyinHull – at Swanland, England

#IronworkThursday More local #Lockdown #Ironwork-related discoveries. I have no idea why the local campsite owner collects rusty telephone boxes, but hey. Here's (AFAIK) one K6 and four K8s. Experts might tell us if the latter are MK 2 or not? @redphoneboxinfo @KioskKorner

The lesser spotted and rather unknown K7 telephone kiosk @AvoncroftMuseum - this model of kiosk didn't make it beyond prototype and a few experimental installations #GPO #redtelephonebox #historyoftechnology #industrialheritage
