Description
The Fairford K6 telephone kiosk is a standardised design made of cast iron and painted red overall. It features long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with crowns applied to the top panels rather than perforated. There are rectangular white display signs reading "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow curved roof. The kiosk has modernised internal equipment and has lost its display signs on the north and south sides but retains its glass windows and original door pattern.
Located in the Fairford conservation area, the kiosk stands on the east side of the High Street. It has a strong visual connection with several nearby listed buildings, including the Police Station and Former Magistrate's Court, approximately 3.5 metres to the east, Montague House, about 15 metres to the northeast, and 10 High Street, around 15 metres to the southeast. It is also visually related to structures on the western side of the High Street, such as Fairford Community Centre, approximately 19 metres to the west, and the Church of St Mary, about 60 metres to the northwest. The telephone kiosk shares a strong visual relationship with these five listed buildings collectively.
