Description

The K6 telephone kiosk, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935, is a notable example of industrial design. It was created to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of King George V and is made of cast iron. The kiosk has a square plan with a domed roof. Each side features a segmental upper structure adorned with a crown in relief above a glazed panel that displays the word "TELEPHONE." The windows and door have margin glazing bars, and the kiosk is painted red. This particular K6 is recognized for its iconic design and holds Group Value with the nearby post office, post box, and other Grade II listed buildings.
