K6 Telephone Kiosk, Approximately 40 Metres South East Of Manor Farm

The K6 telephone kiosk is a standardised design dating from the 20th century, situated approximately 40 metres south east of Manor Farm in the village of Inglesham. It is constructed of cast iron, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, and features applied crowns on the top panels, rather than perforated ones. Rectangular white display signs read “TELEPHONE” beneath the shallow curved roof. The kiosk contains modernised internal equipment, although the red paint is flaking in places and some glass windows have been replaced with Perspex.

The kiosk stands in the village, 60 metres to the south west of the village crossroads, positioned in front of Manor Farmhouse (Grade II), approximately 40 metres to the north west, and Middle Hill Farmhouse (Grade II), approximately 30 metres to the north east. It has a strong visual relationship with these two listed buildings. Lynt Farmhouse (Grade II) is also located approximately 85 metres to the east, on the opposite side of the crossroads.

The K6 was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 for the General Post Office, to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee. It was a development of his earlier K2 telephone kiosk design of 1924, refining the Neo-classical style and making it more compact and cost-effective to manufacture. Over 70,000 K6 kiosks were produced, and they have become an iconic feature of British streetscapes.

The kiosk is designated at Grade II because it is an iconic example of 20th-century street furniture, surviving in good condition, and it has a notable visual relationship with a group of listed buildings.
