Description
The K8 telephone kiosk, designed by Bruce Martin and introduced in 1968, is located on Boulevard, a wide, tree-lined street established in 1870, near the crossroads with Hessle Road and close to the Fishermen’s Memorial statue from 1906, which is also a Grade II listed structure.
This kiosk features a square plan and stands 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 set in rectangular frames with rounded corners. The rear panel has a blind rectangular frame with rounded corners, below which is an attached cast iron plaque that reads CARRON / COMPANY in relief letters. 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.
