K6 Telephone Kiosk

The K6 telephone kiosk in Buckland is a Grade II listed structure designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. Made from cast iron and glass, this square kiosk features three glazed sides, including a door, and a solid rear side. Each glazed side has eight horizontal strips of glass with narrow margin lights on either side. At the top, a domed roof inspired by the work of Sir John Soane sits above the four arched sides, which each have a crown in relief above a glazed panel displaying the word 'TELEPHONE'. The kiosk is painted red.

Inside, the kiosk contains modern telecommunications equipment. The K6 design was introduced in 1935 to celebrate the silver jubilee of King George V and is often referred to as the 'Jubilee Kiosk'. It evolved from Scott's earlier K2 design from 1924 and has become an iconic representation of Neoclassical design adapted for modern use.

This K6 telephone kiosk is recognized for its significance as an example of industrial design, showcasing Scott's blend of neoclassical forms with contemporary functionality. It is well-placed in the picturesque Laverton Conservation Area, with visual connections to nearby listed buildings, Trots Cottage and Potter's Farm, both also designated at Grade II.
