Description

This is a K6 telephone kiosk, designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. It features a standard design made of cast iron, with long horizontal glazing in the door and sides. The top panels have applied crowns that are not perforated. There are rectangular white display signs that read "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow-curved roof. The kiosk is painted in the standard Post Office Red 539, a colour chosen to match the Post Office letter boxes.
