Description
K6 telephone kiosk, designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.
DESCRIPTION: the K6 is a standardised design made of cast iron, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing to 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.
The kiosk is in good overall condition and survives well, although a glazing bar and a number of panes are missing. The telephone equipment has been removed.
It is located on the north side of The Green in the village of Newnham; adjacent to the Medieval Ringwork Castle and Associated Civil War earthwork defence (Scheduled Monument), and overlooking the Severn Vale. It is in close proximity to The Castle House (Grade II), the Church of St Peter (Grade II), and numerous Grade II listed monuments in the churchyard. The telephone kiosk has a strong visual relationship with these listed buildings, and the Scheduled Monument, collectively.
