Description
This is a K6 telephone kiosk, a standardised design by Giles Gilbert Scott, dating from the 20th century. It is constructed from painted red cast iron, featuring long horizontal glazing in the door and sides. The crowns on the top panels are applied, rather than perforated. A rectangular white display sign reads "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow-curved roof. The interior contains modern telecommunications equipment; by order of s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, this equipment is not considered to be of special architectural or historic interest. The kiosk is situated at a village crossroads, close to the Grade II listed Duncombe Arms Public House and visible from several other listed buildings, including a lamp standard, milestone, village pump and drinking fountain, a house, a garden wall and St James Church. These listed buildings create a strong visual relationship with the telephone kiosk.
