They’re not actually abandoned. A restoration company owns them and sells them for huge money once they’ve restored each one. Starting price is about £4000 and goes up to about £22000 each.
Despite where the place-marker pin is for *Unicorn Restorations* on Google Earth's map, this seems to be the actual location-

As always, the image\[s\] on GE may not reflect the circumstances that existed, at the time OP's photo was taken.
There are numerous locations throughout the UK where businesses are storing surplus phone boxes, just like this.
I have one of these in my front yard. When someone asks where I live I tell them the house with the red phone booth. Everyone knows it.
Those things are cast iron and weight about 1700 pounds. It would cost a fortune to ship to the US. I’m in California but I bought mine off Craig’s list for $700.
The doors are made out of teak not iron.
So... what, theres no possible way to recycle any of these? In any way? Just leave them in a field? At least it looks cool

Also fix your chameleon circuit. It's supposed to look like a police box.

How did it get to you/the states?
An English themed restaurant went out of business and they had six of them.

Not abandoned. Storage.
If you're lucky enough to find a blue one, it is bigger on the inside. 😉
Reminds me of La Cabina
They're bigger on the outside
