Description

K6 telephone kiosk, designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.

DESCRIPTION: the K6 is a standardised design made of cast iron sections bolted together, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in door and sides and with the crowns situated on the top panels being applied not perforated. There are rectangular white display signs, reading 'TELEPHONE' beneath the shallow curved roof.

Although there are some signs of paint flaking, the kiosk remains intact. It is generally in good condition and retains its glazing panels. The kiosk is not in operational use and the internal telephone equipment has been removed.

The K6 stands on the north side of Oxford High Street, outside All Souls College. It is situated near to many listed buildings and has a strong visual relationship with these. They include: All Souls College, Wardens Lodging (Grade II*), University College, Gatehouse University College, North Range (Grade I), Church of St Mary the Virgin (Grade I), All Souls College, Gateway to High Street at Eastern End of the Frontage (Grade II), 33 & 34 High Street, Oxford (Grade II) and The Queen's College, South Range (Grade I).
