Two white telephone boxes in the Market town of Beverley Yorkshire East Riding of Yorkshire England UK GB Europe

---

Hull's telephone network was never run by the Post Office which was responsible for red phone boxes. In 1904, Hull City Council was one of several local authorities to set up their own phone network. Back then it was called Hull Telephone Department and today it is KCOM. It had cream phone boxes. Other authorities later gave up control of their networks to the Post Office which wanted to create a single national service. While the Post Office network was eventually taken over by BT, Hull's remained independent. All of the communications in the city were run by the city council until it sold its final stake in 2007 and so all of the phone boxes are cream, not the red that BT uses
