Description
This is a Type K6 telephone kiosk, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. It was constructed using cast iron, and dates from the period when these kiosks were widely introduced. The kiosk is square in plan with a domed roof. It has unperforated crowns to the top panels and margin glazing to the windows and doors.
