Villagers open grocery shop inside phone box

Villagers open grocery shop inside phone box

Villagers have fought back against the decline in rural services by opening a grocery store in a disused phone box – and nothing has been stolen even though it is left unattended.



The charming facility – stocking milk, sandwiches, newspapers and other everyday items – has been set up inside a vacant red phone box next to the site of the village's former shop.

It is operated according to the "honesty box" principle, with residents leaving payment for any goods they take.
