The Upper Welland Red Telephone Box

Renovated by UWAG.. and back to its former glory...

 

Back in 2016, BT was about to remove its unused Red Telephone Boxes and this included Upper Welland’s kiosk on the junction of Watery Lane and Upper Welland Road. Recognising that many folk regard red telephone boxes as iconic street furniture, BT offered these heritage assets (minus the telephone!) to suitable organisations for £1. Malvern Wells Parish Council has ‘adopted’ (retaining) the kiosk at the request of UWAG.  We restoried it to its former glory, and its now a much loved and well usd mini library.

 

The Upper Welland Action Group (UWAG) was formed in 2014 to oppose a planning application and raise awareness about the proposed inappropriate development of 95 houses in Upper Welland, on a greenfield site, at the bottom of the Malvern Hills, in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), situated adjacent to an ancient woodland. UWAG continues to exist to raise awareness of issues that may effect the residents of Upper Welland and Malvern Wells, and if deemed appropriate oppose similar inappropriate developments. This website aims to raise awareness of the issues, as well as provide support and assistance to residents. We also support and are actively involved in other community projects.
