Classic phone boxes are being offered to the public as part of an auction later today.

The six phone boxes, scattered across Brighton, are being sold for a range of projects which could operate in the small space.

Coffee shops, phone repair shops and florists are just some of the potential uses listed for the boxes which could be snapped up for as little as £5,000.

Andrew Brown, director of auctions for property agents Strettons, said: “It is always nice when we get to see these fun, quirky lots. It really brightens your day.

“I think these red telephone boxes are a great, reasonably priced option for people who want to open a small business. It is also a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to add to their portfolios.

“I hope the Brighton community take the chance to participate in the auction.”
