Beloved red phone box destroyed after collision on Nympsfield Road

MOST READ

An iconic red phone box in Nailsworth has been destroyed after a car collided with it on Monday afternoon.

Photographer David Perrett captured images showing the phone box door ripped from its hinges on Nympsfield Road/ Spring Hill.

A resident told The Stroud Times: I’m thankful nobody has been seriously injured or killed. The phone box is a very iconic landmark on the way to Forest Green Rovers.”

The phone box had been at the centre of a community campaign last summer. Campaigners launched a “David and Goliath” style fight to keep the phone box operational after BT announced plans to disconnect it, raising more than £1,000 to preserve it.
