In this age of the mobile phone most red telephone boxes are rarely used. So Stansted School was given the challenge of coming up with a new use of the box, which is on Plaxdale Green Road. The ideas were so good that several were chosen, see the winning entries below.
The box was painted and restored by Mr Phil Broszek of West Kingsdown and the grand opening was on the day of the Royal Wedding 29th April 2011 (hence the Union Jack livery). It was formally opened by George Goring and Councillor Sarah Hohler, with the school, villagers and a photographer from the local paper in attendance.
It has certainly become a village landmark and seems to be much admired - see this link
here. You can also view a video of the opening and more pictures on the school's website
