K6 telephone kiosk outside north-west corner of Sheffield Town Hall

K6 telephone kiosk, designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.

The K6 is a standardised design made of cast iron (with a hardwood door), painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in the door and sides and with the crowns situated on the top panels being applied not perforated. There are rectangular white display signs, reading TELEPHONE beneath the shallow curved roof. It has modernised internal equipment.

This example stands in front of two listed buildings: Sheffield Town Hall (Grade I), and the Police box (Grade II) dating from 1928, approximately 10m to the west. The telephone kiosk has a strong visual and contextual relationship with these two listed buildings.
