Ashby de la Launde: payphone in Church Avenue A rare sight nowadays, not that I ever recall them being all that common. This payphone is a Booth 7A - thanks to information from someone in the know about phone boxes, who also added: "also known as an Oakham due to its resemblance to a tin of old oak ham."

When the red kiosks were being replaced by the familiar square boxes, these yellow phones were superseded by the KX410, seen for example here: <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3759938">SY8097 : Milborne St. Andrew: public phone in Milton Road Close</a>
