In 1919 The Telephone Was Making Inroads In Business And Home,

in 1921 the first No 1 street Kiosk arrived,


pictures Mirrorpix of William Haselden cartoons, the creator of which got the jump on modern telephones, imaging that we would all have our own telephones in our pockets, and all of those years ago he got it spot on!

it must have seemed unimaginable to readers at the time, but the above cartoons were so ahead of the time, for a history of the UK telephones have a look here, and here is a piece about the No 1 kiosk
