More about this scene
A concrete telephone kiosk and the Post Office (centre) stand behind military barbed wire at Tyneham. The public telephone has been identified by Michael Thomas as a K1 Mark 236 box of 1927, of which about 4,500 were erected, with a roof sign dating from 1929. Inside the building, the Post Office line was Kimmeridge 221. Mrs Gwendoline Driscoll was the shopkeeper when Tyneham was secretly evacuated on the orders of Churchill's War Cabinet, on Sunday 19 December 1943.
