K6 Telephone Kiosk at Chaffcombe

Rowland Butler  has co-ordinated the renovation of our K6 telephone kiosk.

It was suggested that the phone box be used for ‘footpaths’ information of our parish, including maps, and various walking literature and books.   Parishioners and visitors can then borrow the information and bring it back when they have had a look at it.

A rota has been made for the cleaning of the telephone kiosk on a monthly basis.   This rota can be seen in the Kiosk.   Thank you to all of you who have volunteered to help in this way.

Here are some of the photos taken as it was being restored (2012) and as it is today.
