A POETIC phone box has been revealed in Otley.

Members and friends of Otley Stanza gathered in the market square on June 4.

The occasion was the transformation of a redundant phone kiosk into what may be the smallest art display in England.

Pictured are Kevin Hellowell and Jane Kite, who between them inspired the initiative.

A selection of poems, mostly by Otley writers, and all on the theme of telephones and telephoning can be read by passers-by. The work will be on display throughout June.

Otley Stanza is a local group of members of The Poetry Society, based in Otley.
