Description
This is a K6 telephone kiosk located on the west side of Red Lane in Shipley. Designed by the architect Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935, the K6 kiosk was created to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of King George V and is an evolution of Scott's earlier K2 design from 1924. The kiosk is made of cast iron and glass and features two glazed sides along with a glazed door on the third side. Each side has narrow panes flanking a wider central panel of horizontal panes, all topped with a domical roof. Above a glazed panel that displays the word "TELEPHONE," there is a relief crown in the segmental upper structure on each side.
The K6 telephone kiosk is notable for its architectural quality as an industrially produced object of mass communication, with around 70,000 units produced. This particular kiosk is situated in the center of Shipley village, contributing significantly to the local setting. It is located within a conservation area and has a strong visual connection to two Grade II listed buildings, as well as a more distant visual relationship with a Grade II* windmill.
