Description
The K6 telephone kiosk, designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, is a Grade II listed structure located on Bailgate. Made from cast iron and glass, the kiosk has a square plan and features three glazed sides, including a door, with a solid rear side. Each of the glazed sides has eight horizontal strips of glass flanked by narrow margin lights. At the top, a domed roof inspired by the work of Regency architect Sir John Soane sits above four arched sides, each adorned with a crown in relief above a glazed panel that displays the word 'TELEPHONE'.
Inside, the kiosk contains modern telecommunications equipment. The K6 telephone kiosk was introduced to celebrate the silver jubilee of King George V and is often referred to as the 'Jubilee Kiosk'. It represents an iconic adaptation of Neoclassical design for a mass-produced object serving a modern technological purpose. This kiosk is recognized for its industrial design, its association with nearby listed buildings, and its good condition.
