The K6 Project: Documenting the Repurposing of Britain's Red Telephone Kiosks
By

Even the toaster can't save this one.
Summary
The K6 Project is a personal adventure documenting old red telephone kiosks across the UK. As mobile phones have made these kiosks obsolete, many face removal unless adopted and repurposed. The project aims to discover what new purposes these kiosks serve (such as defibrillator sites), who adopted them, and the stories behind their past and present usage.
