Bradfield Combust Commemorates the Platinum Jubilee

Bradfield Combust residents wanted to commemorate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee by creating a lasting legacy. This was achieved in two ways, firstly by planting a semi-mature English oak tree on the village green in support of the Queen's Green Canopy initiative, the tree planting was acknowledged with a message (displayed in the village telephone kiosk) from H.M. the Queen. Secondly, by refurbishing and converting the recently decommissioned BT red telephone kiosk into a Bradfield Combust Heritage information point, offering residents and visitors an insight into the village’s rich history dating back to the 12^th century.

 Using authentic BT materials, it took a team of 4 keen village residents (Cllr. Tony Langan, Theo and Pam Kaciubskyj, and Andy Tucker) just a couple of weeks to refurbish the iconic Grade II listed K6 telephone box which was designed by architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V in 1935. The team were also extremely grateful for the skills of sign writer Paul Baldwin from Bury St Edmunds.
