A public telephone box on the southbound platform of Chalfont & Latimer London Underground station in Little Chalfont has just been awarded Grade II listed status.
The rare K8 phone box is one of four to be found at London Underground stations and only 50 are believed to still exist in total, as most were removed by British Telecom in the 1980s.
The special listing status followed on as a result of the council's Local Heritage List Team working with TfL to nominate a number of local stations for special status with Heritage England.
As a result of the nominations, the K8 phone box at Chalfont and Latimer station was singled out for Grade II listing status for the historic and architectural interest it represents.
Buckinghamshire's Local Heritage Team is collating a list of locally-significant buildings and sites of historical, archaeological, architectural and cultural significance in the county.
Peter Strachan, Buckinghamshire Council's Cabinet Member for Planning and Environment said: "We are delighted that our Local Heritage List Team has in some way helped secure national Grade II listing for this iconic piece of cultural and design significance here in Buckinghamshire. It is so important that we treasure and protect artefacts like this for future generations to appreciate and enjoy."
