K6 telephone kiosk, Wool

A K6 telephone kiosk.

The K6 is a standardised design made of cast iron, 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. It has modernised internal equipment. The kiosk appears intact, though the display signs are a little faded. It has modern telecommunications equipment inside. It stands on the main street through the village, in a prominent position. The kiosk stands on the opposite side of the road from the listed Burvan House, 23 and 24 High Street, formerly the post office (Grade II, NHLE 1120372); and the listed Colliers Barn, 1 & 2 High Street (Grade II, NHLE1152927). The telephone kiosk has a strong visual relationship with these two listed buildings collectively, and in addition is within the Wool Conservation Area.

• Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that these aforementioned features - the modern telecommunications equipment - are not of special architectural or historic interest.
