WTF are those? Phone booths, Blimey.

To be specific/pedantic, these are K8s, the last of the K-series telephone boxes. While never as famous or well-loved as the K2 and K6, I have a soft spot for the modernistic simplicity of the K8; unfortunately, nobody else does, and unlike the hundreds of listed examples of their forebears, most of the K8s are now gone, which makes it all the more lovely to come across an old record of them.
