K6 telephone kiosk adjacent to the Seagate Hotel

The K6 is a standardised design made of cast iron, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in the 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. Three of the display signs above the doors of this K6 survive; the fourth has been replaced with a sign reading ‘e-mail text phone’. It retains its glass windows. It has modernised internal equipment. The kiosk stands on The Quay, opposite the harbourside and overlooking the River Torridge. It stands next to The Seagate Hotel (listed Grade II), circa 28m north of No. 1 Meeting Street (listed, Grade II), and has a strong visual relationship with both of these listed buildings. It also stands circa 62m east of the war memorial on Churchfield (Grade II).

Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 it is declared that the modern telecommunications equipment within the K6 is not of special architectural or historic interest.
