Telephone booth

A telephone booth, telephone kiosk, telephone call box, telephone box or public call box〔(The Plight of the Dartmoor Telephone Boxes )〕〔(Discussion Note on Phone Boxes, Kiosks and ATM machines ) at Urban Design London〕 is a small structure furnished with a payphone and designed for a telephone user's convenience. In the USA and in some parts of Canada, "telephone booth" (or "phone booth") is the commonly used term for the structure, while in the Commonwealth of Nations (particularly the United Kingdom and Australia, and most of Canada) it is a "telephone box" (or "phone box").
Such a booth usually has lighting, a door to provide privacy, and windows to let others know if the booth is in use. The booth may be furnished with a printed directory of local telephone numbers, and a booth in a formal setting, such as a hotel, may be furnished with paper and pen and even a seat. An outdoor booth may be made of metal and plastic to withstand the elements and heavy use, while an indoor booth (once known as a silence cabinet) may have more elaborate architecture and furnishings. Most outdoor booths feature the name and logo of the telephone service provider.
==History==

In 1889, William Gray is credited with inventing the payphone in the United States, and George A, Long was its developer.〔(Site of World’s First Pay Phone )〕 The first telephone booth in London, England was probably installed near the Staple Inn in High Holborn in May 1903. It was operated and located by the Grand Central Railway. However, some sources〔(Was war wann >> Das 19. Jahrhundert >> 1880-1889 >> 1881 )〕 claim that there was a telephone box called "Fernsprechkiosk" in Berlin in 1881.
In the UK, the creation of a national network of telephone boxes commenced in 1920 starting with the K1 which was made of concrete, however the city of Kingston Upon Hull is noted for having it's individual payphone service, with cream coloured phone boxes, as opposed to classic royal red in the rest of Britain.
