Description
The telephone kiosk located on School Lane, near the junction with High Street in Wargrave, is a standard K6 design. It is constructed from cast iron and painted red, featuring horizontal bands of glazing in the door and sides. The crowns on the top panels are applied rather than perforated. There are rectangular white 'TELEPHONE' display signs positioned beneath the shallow-curved roof. The kiosk still has its door, signage, and applied crowns, although much of the glazing on the north and south sides has been broken as of the 2022 assessment. The internal equipment has been updated.
The kiosk faces west and is situated on the south side of School Lane, approximately 20 meters from the junction with High Street. Surrounding the junction are several Grade II-listed buildings: to the west is Wargrave House, to the south is a wall between Wargrave House and Ousleys, and on the western side of the High Street junction is The Bull public house.
