National Telephone Kiosk Collection.
Regulars will know that I rarely post in this section, telephones not being my thing.
However while on holiday and staying in Droitwich, we went to the Avoncroft Museum which is home to the National Telephone Kiosk Collection. The collection was fascinating and the volunteer very knowledgeable. I'd recommend it if you are in the area. It's quite easy to reach being about five minutes from J5 of the M5.

Re: National Telephone Kiosk Collection.
There is also a selection of TKs at Crich Tramway Museum in Derbyshire - one still has button A-B phone connected to the network.

Re: National Telephone Kiosk Collection.
The nice thing about the Avoncroft display is that most of the kiosks are functioning.
Thee are two exchanges, one a mobile and one a re-located village exchange from some where in Essex (I can't remember where).
