The same year, Banksy created a sculpture based on a crumbled red phone box with a pickaxe in its side, apparently bleeding. This work was installed in Soho Square, London 2005 and later recovered from Westminster Environmental Services.

Sort of showing how mobile phones were becoming the norm and making things like the payphone obsolete.
