British red telephone booth in Hyde Park Village, Tampa, FL

HYDE PARK / TAMPA, FL – rev Jan 23, 2016: An authentic English style telephone booth in British red with an embossed British crown can be viewed on the corner of W. Swann Ave. and S. Dakota Ave. in the Hyde Park Village shopping center in Tampa, FL.

This particular telephone booth in Hyde Park doesn’t have a phone but attractively stands as a reminder of how we use to make phone calls when away from the home.

These telephone kiosks ,original designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, have decreased but are still common in the UK and other British colonies around the globe. payphones
