K6 Telephone Kiosk At Lippitts Hill Heavy Anti-Aircraft Gun Site

The K6 is a standardised design made of cast-iron, generally painted red overall (although this example is grey/green) with long horizontal glazing in the 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. It has modern internal telephony equipment* which is not of special interest and is therefore excluded from the listing.

This telephone kiosk's display signs above the doors are clearly visible but the green paint is peeling in places revealing red beneath. It mainly retains the glass window panels although some to the sides have been replaced in Perspex. It is located adjacent to the south corner of the Spider Block (NHLE1390667), 27m south-west of the Mess Block (NHLE1390664) and 40m from the Commander's Office (NHLE 1390665), all listed at Grade II. The kiosk has a strong visual relationship with all three of these listed buildings.

• Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that these aforementioned features are not of special architectural or historic interest.
