    It's a cut-down version of Walter's 2015 exhibition Alien Sex Club which was shown in London and Liverpool.

    BT, who say they usually no longer replace phone boxes due to their lack of use, have made an exception due to the passion shown by local residents.

    Local Conservative MP Graham Stuart has praised the telecoms firm for going against its usual policy.

    He says: "They see how important the red phone box is to this beautiful village, have shown admirable flexibility in their policy, and it is a really human response from a large company."

    And Mike Crowther, chairman of Atwick Parish Council, says: "The phone box was an important part of the village both visually and, equally significantly, as a vital resource."
