this could be a RAC phonebox as the AA had a similar box replaced by its modern post type equivalent in the late 70s before its complete removal at the steam traction engine water refill tank layby just past the debdale turn

This field has been harvested by a binder, probably towed by a tractor, the sheaves can be seen on the ground and some are put into stooks to dry around the outside of the field.

This field is being harvested by a " bagger " combine, towed by a tractor. It had to go round and round the field hence the circular pattern of the straw trail. The location is very possible East Anglia.
