Telephone Box and Notice Board, Bro Nant, Nantyffin

The telephone box and community notice board as they were in March 2004, when the telephone still took coins. BT wanted to remove it but local protests made them leave it in place. It can only be used by card now, but emergency calls are free. Just as well, as few mobile signals can be received around here.
