to house things like book exchanges, food banks, bicycle repair kits, dog waste bags and defibrillators.Is it the end for Wales' remaining phone boxes? One red phone box adopted in 2013 in the village of Rowen in Eryri, also known as Snowdonia National Park, has become a focal point of the community, according to BT.
As well as holding books and a defibrillator, the kiosk next to the Ty Gwyn Hotel has details of local events and serves as an information point for tourists."This red phone box is a much-loved local landmark and a popular meeting place," said the Rowen Memorial Hall's Peter McFadden."When people stopped using it to make calls, and there was a risk it would disappear, we were determined to keep it," he said.
