The horse shoes, of course, refer to Rutland. The sign says that Streeton is twinned with Bienville, but there is no further reference to this on the village web site at https://strettonrutland.co.uk/

Emergency telephone
I have never seen one of these before, and I think they should be far more widespread. Every converted phone box with a defibrillator in at one time had a telephone pair. It is (currently) simplicity itself to connect one of these.
Come 2025 when the PSTN (copper wire) telephone service is switched off, I wonder what will happen to it.
