K6 Telephone Kiosk

The K6 telephone kiosk, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, is a Grade II listed structure located off the square in South Huish. 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 glazed side has eight horizontal strips of glass with narrow margin lights on either side. The kiosk is topped 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 entire structure 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 commonly referred to as the 'Jubilee Kiosk'. It evolved from Scott's earlier K2 design from 1924 and has become an iconic representation of industrial design, showcasing a blend of Neoclassical elements influenced by Regency architect Sir John Soane, tailored for modern technological use.

This kiosk is recognized for its significance as an iconic example of industrial design and is well-placed within the Inner Hope Cove Conservation Area, maintaining visual connections to nearby listed structures such as the Lifeboat House, Beach Cottage, and Spray House.
