Description
This description covers a pair of K6 telephone kiosks located in the pedestrian piazza by the Royal Exchange Buildings. The K6 kiosks are made of cast iron and are painted red. They feature long horizontal glazing in the doors and sides, with embossed crowns on the top panels. Each kiosk has rectangular white display signs reading 'TELEPHONE' beneath the shallow-curved roof on all four sides.
These kiosks stand together, with their glazing, signage, and crowns intact. They are situated to the west of the Grade I listed Royal Exchange and to the east of the Grade II listed 1-2 Royal Exchange Buildings. Nearby, to the north, is the Charity Drinking Fountain (Grade II), and to the south is the Jubilee or Temperance Drinking Fountain (Grade II). There is also a pavement pump to the south of the Exchange and a statue of George Peabody to the north, all of which contribute to the strong visual relationship these kiosks have with the surrounding listed buildings and structures.
It is noted that the modern internal communication equipment has been removed from both kiosks.
