Description

The K6 is a standardised design made of cast iron, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in 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. The kiosk has modernised internal equipment. Although the paintwork is slightly discoloured in places the kiosk is generally in good condition and retains glass panels throughout.

The kiosk is in a prominent location and makes a major contribution to the streetscape. It is situated adjacent to the boundary wall of the Grade II listed St John's College Masters Lodge designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the grandfather of Giles Gilbert Scott. This K6 also has a visual relationship with a number of listed buildings on the opposite side of Bridge Street in particular numbers 30a, 29, 26 and 24. It is also visible from St Clements Church.

Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that the modern telecommunications equipment within the K6 is not of special architectural or historic interest.
