It is with great sadness that we share the terrible news that Angus Chisholm passed away on 28 November after getting into difficulties in the sea at Brighton. He was a creative of great skill and generosity, a valued colleague and for many of us, a dear friend.

There is only one surviving red phone box in the former Borough of Stoke Newington; a 96-year-old K2 model located outside 281 Green Lanes. It was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, whose grandfather, George Gilbert Scott, designed St Mary’s New Church in 1855, and whose uncle, John Oldrid Scott, designed the church’s steeple in 1890.
