Let it snow! Jackfield phone box gets a new lease of life

The Jackfield community has come together this winter to create something quite special in their local phone box.

Purchased by The Gorge Parish Council last year, the phone box has been longing for a new lease of life, and a group of residents have given it just that. The community joined forces at a snowflake making workshop in the Jackfield Village Hall to create a blizzard of snowflakes which have now been installed in the phone box for everyone to enjoy this winter.

The group are hoping that this will be the first of many community art projects to be featured in the phone box.
