Description
The K6 telephone kiosk, located opposite the Old School House in Sydenham Damerel, was designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and made by various contractors. This kiosk is constructed from cast iron and has a square plan with a domed roof.
The exterior features a segmental upper structure on each side with a crown, applied 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.
The K6 was created to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of King George V and is an iconic example of industrial design, showcasing Scott's adaptation of Neoclassical forms for modern technology. It is recognized as a particularly good example of its type and holds group value with a nearby Grade II listed house and the Grade II* Church of St Mary.
