K6 Telephone Kiosk

The K6 telephone kiosk located on Lower Road in Toller Porcorum is a Grade II listed structure designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and produced by various contractors. Made of cast iron and glass, the kiosk has a square plan and features three glazed sides, including a door, and a solid rear side. Each of the glazed sides has eight horizontal strips of glass with narrow margin lights on either side. At the top, it is crowned with a Soane-inspired domed roof, which sits above four arched sides, each adorned with a crown in relief above a glazed panel that displays the word 'TELEPHONE'. The kiosk is painted red.

Inside, the kiosk contains modern telecommunications equipment. The K6 telephone kiosk was introduced in 1935 to mark the silver jubilee of King George V and is often referred to as the 'Jubilee Kiosk'. It evolved from Scott's earlier K2 kiosk design from 1924 and has become an iconic representation of industrial design, showcasing a blend of Neoclassical style influenced by Regency architect Sir John Soane with a modern technological purpose. This particular kiosk is recognized for its significance as an example of this design and its prominent location in the village, which enhances its visual relationship with other listed buildings.
