British Red Telephone Box And Pillar Box

This is a charming picture of some well known British cultural icons: the red telephone Box and Pillar Box. A pillar box is a free-standing post box. Most traditional British pillar boxes produced after 1905 are made of cast iron and are cylindrical. The red telephone box, a telephone kiosk for a public telephone designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, was a familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom, Malta, Bermuda and Gibraltar. From 1926 on wards, the fascias of the kiosks were emblazoned with a prominent crown, representing the British government.
