K6 Telephone Kiosk, Airton Green, Airton

K6 telephone kiosk, designed in 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.

The K6 is a standardised design made of cast iron, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in 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. It has modernised internal equipment. The original display sign windows have been replaced; the two side windows have opaque white glazing and the front window has been painted black.

The K6 is situated on rising ground at the south-west corner of Airton village green and stands against the garden wall of the listed Vipoint House and Airton Cottage, which is the former village post office; it has a strong visual relationship with, and stands in close proximity to, the listed The Manor House approximately 21m to the north-west, and The Green approximately 50m to the north. The telephone kiosk has a strong visual relationship with these three listed buildings collectively.
