Red telephone box in Knaresborough transformed into tourist information hub
A red telephone box in Knaresborough Market Place has been transformed into a tourist information hub.
Knaresborough Business Collective signed the lease on one of the three traditional K6 phone boxes this week.
It is aimed at being more easily accessible than the town's existing tourist information centre, which is located in the Courthouse Museum.
And to help it stand out, it has been covered in pink flowers by Louise Ford, from 4 Seasons florist.
The business group, which was formed to encourage more people into town to spend money in local shops, requested the lease earlier this year.
Natalie Horner, one of the founders of the Knaresborough Business Collective, said:

Florist Ms Ford, who completed the floral display this week, said there was even a family link with Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the architect who designed the red telephone box.
She said:
Knaresborough Business Collective is now calling for any flyers for events or tourist attractions to be dropped off at Sid Horner & Son, on Finkle Street, or the Crystal Buddha, on High Street, so they can be put on display.
