K8 Telephone Kiosk, Church Gate, Hedon

The K8 telephone kiosk, designed by Bruce Martin and introduced in 1968, is located on the north side of Church Gate, next to a property facing Market Place and near St Augustine’s Church, which is a Grade I listed building. It is also opposite the 18th-century buildings at 18-22 Market Place and the Grade II listed King’s Head Public House, which dates from the 18th or early 19th century.

This kiosk features a square plan and is set on a concrete base. It is constructed from six cast iron parts and has an aluminium door. Three sides, including the door, are fitted with large sheets of toughened glass in rectangular frames with rounded corners. The rear panel has a blind rectangular frame with rounded corners and is positioned close to a brick wall, making the manufacturer's name plaque not visible. The flat roof dome has rectangular framed signage panes with rounded corners, each glazed with toughened glass and displaying the word TELEPHONE on a white background. The kiosk is painted cream.
