Description
The K6 telephone kiosk is a standard design made of cast iron and painted red. It features long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with crowns applied to the top panels rather than perforated. There are rectangular white display signs reading "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow curved roof. The kiosk has modern internal telecommunications equipment and appears intact, although the display signs are somewhat faded. It is prominently located on the main street of the village, directly across from the listed Burvan House, 23 and 24 High Street, which was formerly the post office, and the listed Colliers Barn, 1 & 2 High Street. The kiosk has a strong visual connection with these two listed buildings and is situated within the Wool Conservation Area.
