K6 Telephone Kiosk

The K6 telephone kiosk dates to 1935 and is constructed of cast iron, painted red with long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, and featuring applied crowns on the top panels. Rectangular white display signs reading "TELEPHONE" are positioned beneath the shallow-curved roof. The interior contains modernised telephone equipment, but the kiosk is currently in poor condition, exhibiting faded and discoloured display signs and flaking paint. Original glass windows remain.

Designed by Giles Gilbert Scott for the General Post Office to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee, the K6 was an evolution of his earlier K2 design, streamlining the aesthetic and improving production efficiency. This standardised kiosk design became an iconic feature of British streetscapes, with over 70,000 produced before being largely replaced in the 1960s.

The kiosk is situated at a village crossroads and has a strong visual relationship with several nearby listed buildings: Bell Cottage, approximately 20 metres to the south west; the Bell Inn, approximately 25 metres to the south east; and Park Farm, approximately 60 metres to the north west. Its group value stemming from this context justifies its Grade II listing, despite its deteriorated condition.
