K6 Telephone Kiosk

The K6 telephone kiosk is a standardised design made of cast iron, painted red overall. It features long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with applied crowns on the top panels, rather than perforated crowns. Rectangular white display signs are present, reading "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow-curved roof. The interior contains modernised equipment. The kiosk is intact and in good condition.

The kiosk is located on the south side of a T-junction at the centre of the village. It stands adjacent to a Grade II listed cross, and approximately 30 metres away from Avenue Farmhouse, which is also Grade II listed. These three buildings create a strong visual group.

The K6 telephone kiosk, designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 for the General Post Office to commemorate King George V’s Silver Jubilee, represents a milestone in 20th century industrial design. It evolved from Scott’s earlier K2 design and was more streamlined, compact, and cost-effective to produce. Giles Gilbert Scott was a significant British architect, responsible for works like Liverpool Cathedral and Battersea Power Station. Over 70,000 K6 kiosks were produced, and although many were replaced, they remain an iconic feature of Britain's streetscapes.

The kiosk is designated at Grade II, which reflects group value, for its strong visual relationship with two other listed buildings and its representation of important 20th century industrial design within a village setting.
