Description
This K8 telephone kiosk was designed by Bruce Martin and introduced in 1968. It is situated within the early 20th-century Garden Village, developed by Quaker Sir James Reckitt for his factory workers. The kiosk is located at the southern corner of the Garden Village Shopping Centre, a public building constructed in 1909 as part of the development.
The kiosk has a square plan and sits on a concrete base. It is constructed from six cast iron elements and an aluminium door. Three sides feature large sheets of toughened glass set in rectangular frames with rounded corners; the rear panel has a blind rectangular frame with rounded corners and an attached cast iron plaque displaying the manufacturer’s name CARRON COMPANY in relief lettering. The flat roof has four 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.
