A famous telephone kiosk

According to the information engraved on the door and inside the kiosk, this was the 100,000th BT kiosk to be erected and stands at the geographical centre of Great Britain, although both factoids are a bit questionable. If there ever were 100,000 kiosks in Britain, the number is now in freefall. And on their own admission, the centre of Britain (as defined by the Ordnance Survey at the centre of gravity) is actually at SD637565, way up in the hills. Other people have their own definition of the centre of Britain. Principal amongst these is David Taylor proprietor of the Centre of Britain Hotel in Haltwhistle. See NY7064 : Centre of Britain Hotel and NY7064 : Haltwhistle claims to be at the centre of Britain. See also Link
