Description

The K6 is a standardised design made from cast iron, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in the door and sides and with crowns situated on the top panels being applied not perforated. There is a white display sign, reading TELEPHONE beneath the shallow curved roof on one side. On the other sides modern display signs read E-MAIL + TEXT + PHONE. It has modernised internal equipment. The glazing in the door and sides has been partly replaced by smoked Perspex.

The K6 telephone kiosk at Mungrisdale is situated in a picturesque location at the side of short un-surfaced lane close to its junction with a 'C' class road running north-south along the valley bottom, and is adjacent to the point where the River Glenderamackin emerges from the narrow confines of its hillside valley on the west to turn sharply almost 90 degrees as it enters the broad valley bottom. In the garden immediately behind the kiosk is the Grade II listed early C19 School House, and approximately 25 metres to the east, on the opposite side of the valley road, is the Grade II listed late C18 or early C19 Gate Farm, Gate Cottage and adjoining former barn. The telephone box has a strong visual relationship with these buildings.
