Skegness women celebrated in phone box in Germany

A British phone box featuring the stories of 23 women is starring in a photography exhibition in Germany.

Artist John Byford photographed and interviewed the women – aged 23 to 96 – from Skegness, Lincolnshire, for a project called Her/Sie (she).

The exhibition in Bad Gandersheim, Lower Saxony, which is twinned with Skegness, coincides with celebrations of the town’s most famous daughter, the 10th Century German writer Roswitha.

Byford said: “They’re wonderful stories. Some of them are very sad, very emotional. All the stories are there for people to read, and they all grace this telephone box.”
