Today, we rofl around on our smartphones, but back in the day making a phone call was not quite so easy, & you had to visit one of these establishments. Sometimes you'd have to queue for 20 minutes to get in, & you'd huff & puff & tut loudly at the incumbent who was busy chatting to his girlfriend & feeding an endless stream of pennies into the slot.
Having said that, they doubled as a Gents Convenience, as you can see by the handily placed vessel far right of photo.
400 climbers reached the summit of Everest on Wednesday, & then.....had to queue for 10 hours to go the last few hundred feet & get the obligatory photo. The queue is still there, but 3 climbers have died due to the extreme cold whilst waiting.
