The Dexchange is one of a series of ridiculous projects we’ve put into the old K6 phone boxes we rescued from removal in Bradford on Avon. BT ran an ‘adopt a kiosk’ scheme, by which a local council or group can take on ownership of these lovely old things for just £1, rather than BT removing them. We formed a crack team of volunteers and applied to Bradford on Avon Town Council for the pound and a small amount of money to buy a ‘kit’ of the replacement panes and paint.
In 2017 we got to work, stripping and scrubbing the phone box down, and restoring it to its former glory. It took two days and some elbow grease, but it was worth it.
