Look what I found in Chattanooga!
No, this isn't the British countryside. It's Chattanooga. I wish I could explain this photo, but I don't know what this phone booth from merry ole England is doing in Chattanooga. I pass it on my way to work. It appeared one day by the side of the road. The only indication that it might belong to someone is a small note that says "willful destruction of this property could lead to prosecution."

Amazing find. When I saw this I wondered if London had suffered a nuclear blast. Great shot.
Hee Hee, I'd take it home with me....It looks Old but Great.
Hey Carol would you mind if I put your photo of you on my Blog??
Let me know xx
Funny find! Do they also have a phone installed inside?
There's no phone inside and it looks like it would take a great deal of work to restore. I will admit the thought of bringing it home with me had crossed my mind.
As I said, I pass by everyday. If anything happens with it, I'll let everyone know with more photos.
Good theme photo. If painted, this would look great in a flower bed.
Hey Sunshine, Me again, Bop on over to my blog to see why I wanted your Photo....Hope you don't mind!! :) The Phone box would be Great to take Home Jasper could turn into Superman in it...Hee Hee
I will take a wild guess and say a homesick Brit planted it there!
London in Chattanooga...now that's original and your eye caught it.
OK Carol... guess where you're taking me when we get together this week??? lol
I HAVE got to see this... and you say it's right in our back yard... I Luv IT!!! Totally cool!!!
I'll write you tomorrow, promise!!! Gotta get my wicked-crazy busy weekend butt to BED!!! Since it's 3 am here now, it will be late before I email ya, though go figure - lol
Have a Great Monday, my friend!!!
Astounding! Maybe someone could plant flowers in it or something.
So it is not working of course. With a little repair it could be wonderful on anyplace. That´s funny, abandoned and protected by a sign.
That warning notice is probably original. Hard to find these old phone boxes anywhere here now; they've all been bought up and shipped to the States!
Hey I live in Ooltewah. Where is this phone booth I would like to get a picture of it.
Very interesting reading. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Pat

There is one here in my town..but it is inside of a restaurant. Coor decore I guess.
12 months on and Hyde DP is revisiting those that took part in the "other city" theme, with links to the other participants.
I actually own the business and the phone box.. Its here because my Family is from Wales and we import English & French antiques and sell them from the shop that the phone box is in front of. We've had it for many many years and we use it as a landmark for our customers.
