I was a Special Constable for a number of years and after all the training etc we had to pick which division we would prefer to be posted at. I selected Central primarily because I knew the Town Hall box was under that division.
Have to say I was always thrilled to use the box (and often called in even if I had no reason to ;D) and when I left I kept a copy of the key!
Although the Sheffield Police Box is green it did share the TARDIS inward opening door so if I'm absolutely honest I may have done "Doctor Who style entrances and exits" on a number of occasions :-[ lol

Love the box, but I love that Triumph 2000 police car as well!

The telephone looks to me like an information point, you just listen to the info about the exhibit.

Someone might be able to enhance the image (or at least enhance the higher resolution on I assume is out there) to read the sign. Without going into...scratch that. Between reading glasses and a magnifying glass, I would bet good money the sign says:
POLICE TELEPHONE
FREE FOR USE OF
PUBLIC
OFFICERS AND
CARS RESPOND TO
URGENT CALLS

...no "PULL TO OPEN." Which makes me think the external phone is actually part of the structure (at least at the time it was brought to the museum. It may have had a different phone at some earlier point).
