Telephone booths in Brunant

Telephone booths or boxes have been used in Brunant since the 1930s and continue to be in use today.

History
The first telephone booths were introduced by the Royal Communications and Telephone Company in 1930. These were dark blue and in a style similar to the red British telephone boxes. These were in use until the late 1940s, being replaced with another blue box with orange RCTC telephone colors. Few of these were actually introduced, with issues regarding workmanship necessitating a redesign in 1959.

By the early 1960s it was necessary to have better made and newer phone boxes, as many of the old ones weren't well maintained. Contemporary designer Gerard Leinart was hired to make the design in 1966, which ended up being modern and pop-art inspired. These boxes were painted blue and orange, and their design and usage would make them a cultural icon. These "Leinart boxes" would be made from 1966 to 1999 and continue to be in use today. Many of the original blue boxes, as well as its replacements from 1948 and 1959 have been since removed, with few remaining.
