CHRISTCHURCH AND ITS DISFIGUREMENTS—NO. 4.
What’s this? How many people have asked themselves this question, when passing along Lichfield Street their eyes have been caught by the ugly, over-sized telephone booth which looms before them on the south side of the street? Squatting, half on the pavement, half on the roadway, it is an ugly thing, and certainly has no right to be where it is. It was put there for the convenience
of the carriers who make this point their stand. This is their rendezvous, their office —a depot which is essential to them in their work. But eoukl they not have hidden the ugly thing? Could they not have found some less obtrusive place for it? Jutting on to the pavement as it does, it is more than a disfigurement—it is an obstruction and an inconvenience. It should go.
