Description
The K6 telephone kiosk, erected after 1955, is a standard design made of cast iron and painted red overall. It features long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with crowns on the top panels that are applied rather than perforated. The crowns on the K6 in Winfrith Newburgh include representations of the Coronation crown, used in England from 1953, and the Crown of Scotland, both painted gold. There are rectangular white display signs reading "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow-curved roof. The kiosk has modernised internal equipment and occupies a prominent position on the main road through the village, situated beside the post office, which is unlisted.
