The cream-coloured telephone boxes of Hull’s public phone system, now part of the larger phone
The cream-coloured telephone boxes of Hull’s public phone system, now part of the larger phone/broadband company KCOM Group. When public telephone boxes first appeared in many cities in the UK it was the work of the local authority, and eventually all of these local telephone exchanges were merged into the telephone arm of the GPO (now BT, formerly British Telecom) - except for Kingston-upon-Hull’s system, which became known as Kingston Communications. Hull kept their distinctive phone boxes and their independence, and BT never operated landlines in the city. -- source link
