This is a case of going back in the archives.
I took this image back in 2010... I was 16 and learning to drive.
This phone box is at a locality called Numbla Vale. Numbla Vale consists of an RFS 'fire shed', a line of bins for the surrounding residents... and the phone box!
The photo is a panorama of 8 shots handheld with an Olympus Mju770SW, a relatively early 'ruggedized' digital compact. (it was rugged... in case you were wondering. I was a little more testing on gear sometimes in those days
I couldn't remember what I stitched it with, but the metadata tells me it was ArcSoft Panorama Maker.
Haven't come across Arcsoft in years, but I remember a few of their products being included on the software CDs that used to come with cameras. They were quite good.
Anyway, I was quite proud of this image at the time, and recently remembered it - so after around 45min of rummaging through a stack of portable hard drives here it is! I've just resized it and sharpened a tiny bit to 'make up' for the downsizing, otherwise it's exactly as I turned out 14 years ago.
