Pair Of K6 Telephone Kiosks

The listing describes a pair of K6 telephone kiosks, located within The Concourse at Windsor Royal Station. These kiosks, dating from the 20th century, are constructed of cast iron and are painted red with long horizontal glazing in the door and sides. The tops of the kiosks feature applied, not perforated, crowns. Rectangular white display signs reading “TELEPHONE” are positioned beneath the shallow-curved roof. The internal equipment has been modernised, and the kiosks are in very good condition.

These kiosks stand under the main canopy of the Grade II listed Windsor and Eton Central Station, within the Windsor Royal Shopping complex, in a prominent and symmetrical arrangement near a replica steam engine that formerly conveyed the royal train.

The K6 telephone kiosk is considered a significant example of 20th-century industrial design, designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 to celebrate King George V's Silver Jubilee. It evolved from Scott's earlier K2 design of 1924, offering a more streamlined, compact, and cost-effective design. Over 70,000 K6 kiosks were produced, with many later replaced, but surviving examples remain iconic features of British streetscapes.

The kiosks are designated at Grade II for their prominent position within a Grade II listed building, their historical location within a conservation area, and their representation of this important 20th-century industrial design in an urban setting.
