Esther Johnson has spent months photographing the last remaining K8 telephone boxes in Hull. The result is a stunning book paying homage to a once much needed lifeline. Yvette Huddleston reports.
With the fast pace of technological development over the past couple of decades, it now seems a very long time ago that in order to make a phone call while you were out and about, you needed to find a public telephone box. Those of a certain age will remember queuing up outside one, with a handful of loose change. That was in the pre-mobile phone era, of course, before everyone had their means of communication with them at all times.
” The good news is that several of the K8s have this year been Grade II listed by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on the advice of Historic England, including nine in Hull, all of which are in working order. What makes Hull’s K8s so special, unique in fact, is their colour – in most parts of the country the kiosks were red but in Hull they are cream. That decision was made by the Hull Corporation Phone Department, founded in 1904.
