Sandbanks’ famous red phone box

The red phone box at Sandbanks has long been a photographer’s favourite, especially for quirky wedding photographs like the images we take for our iWed wedding photography service.

The phone box’s future had been put in doubt recently after Studland Parish Council decided not to adopt it for £1 when offered the chance by British Telecom.

Fears about the cost of upkeep had dissuaded the council, but now BT have said that there are no plans to remove the phone box even though the council declined their offer.

A BT spokesman told The Daily Echo that they would not remove a kiosk where there is a clear social need, last year 41 call were made from the phone box.

Having used the phone box for numerous photoshoots we’re glad it’s staying, even if it is clear that it’s used more for photographs than it is for phone calls!
