101 ways to use a Chorlton telephone box ….. the political one

Now, over the years I mused on the different ways disused telephone kiosks have been turned into something different.


My favourite is the mini library, although the equally small museum nearly beat it to the finishing line.*

Less popular on my list is their use as a place for business cards advertising everything from taxis to certain services, while there will be a few who have used them as lavatories.

And now emboldened by their decommission some are used as billboards, which takes me to this one on Wilton Road to which was added recently a comment on the war in Ukraine.
