Description

According to Cadw, this former police telephone box is 'currently [located] to the east of junction with Hawthorn Avenue but varies through time and space. The box probably dates from the 1930's, when Police Forces were using telephone communications both for contact of Officers, and for direct contact of Police Stations.' Externally, it has a 'concrete framework, and iron panels, painted blue. Stepped roof bears cylindrical lamp. Small hatch to Chepstow Road; altered small-pane doorway to the west.'

Photographs by Cadw show a Tom Baker-esque scarf painted onto the exterior.

Grade II listed as 'an extremely rare example in Wales of a Police telephone box'
