Grade II listed former police telephone box, Somerton, Newport
Located on the south side of the B4237 Chepstow Road, near Acacia Avenue
and Hawthorn Avenue, the dark blue box is known locally as the Somerton TARDIS.
Police phone boxes were formerly used by officers on the beat for communication, and were immortalised by Doctor Who's time travelling TARDIS. With the advent of personal radios in the 1970s most were demolished, leaving this 1930s Somerton box the last one in Newport. The box was Grade II Listed in 1999.
