K6 Telephone Kiosk, St Andrew's Street

K6 telephone kiosk, designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, probably relocated to its current position around 1985.

MATERIALS: cast-iron frame and timber door.

PLAN: square on plan.

DESCRIPTION: the K6 is a standardised design made of cast-iron, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in the door and sides. There are rectangular white display signs reading ‘TELEPHONE’ and applied crowns beneath the shallow-curved roof. The south side of the kiosk retains a hardwood door, and the door handle has been replaced. The telephone equipment was removed in the early C21. The telephone kiosk stands on the east side of St Andrew’s Street immediately outside the boundary wall (NHLE 1125525, listed at Grade II) of Emmanuel College (NHLE 1332193, listed at Grade I) and around 15m north-west of Belmont (NHLE 1331891, listed at Grade II).
