Bath, England has a rather nice city centre that is walkable. Several streets across from the train station are closed to most vehicle traffic. There are a lot of restaurants, shops, and pubs. One thing they do is decorate the telephone boxes and streets in the shopping area. Below are just a few of the Bath telephone booths that are decorated.
The photos above and below are made of Cotswold stone. Bath is at the edge of the Cotswolds.
The British love flowers. I love it when towns do something different to spuce up their city centres. What do you think? Do you have a favourite?

The phone booth in a nearby town has been turned into a used bookshop.

I saw a few of those before Covid. It’s a nice idea. I’ve seen one used for parish news, to house defibrillators, a little museum, cashpoint, phone charging station, Wi-Fi , etc.

Inspired uses. We’d have done something useful with the one in our village, only some idiot set it on fire.

That is sad. I hope they caught the person. Too many things on this side of the pond are Tik Tok challenges. One was setting fire to things. I think one playground with wooden equipment suffered from that one.

I was only in Bath for a few hours. Well, I did get to see the actual bath. Nice city.

I think every time I go over the pond I go there for at least a day. When I stay longer in certain cities I stay at the university dorms. It’s a lot cheaper. They have gone up in price, but still a lot cheaper than hotel rooms. Breakfast buffet is included. At least before Covid there were a lot of van and bus tours going from Bath into the Cotswolds, Wells, Cheddar, etc.

Talk about using flowery language on a phone call. I think #4 is the best. The white one is good, but it is not the trad phone booth. Have a good Saturday Sharon. Allan

There is a guy that for a career restores old phone booths to their original glory. I like the original, but also especially like the new uses they have found for them like lending library and keeper of the village defibrillator machine.

These are really, really nice and so photogenic.
And, I will ask anyway. Did you happen to come across the TARDIS? Would make it easier to pop back across the pond. And I will play the fool. If one of those contained a grapevine, you could have sung that Motown song and done some dance moves to boot.
