Description
The K6 telephone kiosk in Little Milton, designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935, is made of cast iron and glass. It features a glazed door, although this particular door has been replaced with perspex panes, and has narrow panes on either side of the horizontal glazing. The kiosk is topped with a domical roof, and on each side of the upper segment, there is a relief crown above a glazed panel that displays the word "TELEPHONE." This example is painted red.
The K6 telephone kiosk is an iconic design created to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V. It evolved from Scott's earlier K2 design from 1924. The Neoclassical style of the kiosk, influenced by Regency architect Sir John Soane, is notable for its architectural quality, particularly as it pertains to a mass-produced object for communication. With around 70,000 K6 kiosks produced, it is important to recognize the best examples for preservation. This kiosk is situated on a small green near several listed buildings, including the village post office, establishing a strong visual relationship with them.
