In August 2019 the Heritage Centre adopted the last red phone box on Scarborough's seafront.
It was being de-commisioned due to lack of use.
Now it is turned into The History Box, the world's smallest heritage centre for tourists to visit.
It is open 24 hours a day 365 days a year and has a five minute audio commentary and photographs of Scarborough's fishing hay-days.
Entry is free and it is located by Mutiny Bar,
YO11 1NP, towards the South Bay funfair, on the left.
According to British Telecom, nearly 4000 phone boxes have been taken into community ownership and setup as mini libraries, defibrillator points and even the world’s smallest discotheque.
The K6 kiosk was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and introduced from 1935 to 1983. 60,000 kiosks were installed but now only 11,000 remain.
