Description
The K6 telephone kiosk in Monyash was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and produced by various contractors. Made of cast iron and glass, it has a square plan. The exterior features three glazed sides, including a door, and a solid rear side. Each glazed side contains eight horizontal strips of glass with narrow margin lights on either side. Atop the four arched sides is a domed roof inspired by the work of Sir John Soane, with a crown in relief above a glazed panel that displays the word 'TELEPHONE'.
Inside, the kiosk contains modern telecommunications equipment. Introduced in 1935 to mark the silver jubilee of King George V, the K6 kiosk is often referred to as the 'Jubilee Kiosk'. It evolved from Scott's earlier K2 kiosk design from 1924 and has become an iconic representation of industrial design, blending Neoclassical elements with a modern function. The kiosk is recognized for its significance as an example of industrial design, its group value with nearby listed buildings, and its good condition.
