To the classic mid 1930s design by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott; this one was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101246903-telephone-kiosk-approximately-3-metres-north-east-of-number-22-number-22-not-included-shrewsbury#.ZA5McXbP3IU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1246903 in 1988. The phone has gone, and it now holds a heart defibrillator. However, the local youth have not treated it with a modicum of respect, as pretty much all the glass in the front has been broken, and two of the cast iron glazing bars are kicked off too. Words fail me (actually, they don't, but I can't add them here...)
