K6 Telephone Kiosk, Dent

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 doors 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.

It is situated on the eastern side of a minor road, against the west elevation of the reading room, on the south-eastern approach to the centre of the village of Dent. There are three Grade II-listed buildings in the vicinity: The Old Vicarage and The Old Parsonage (National Heritage List for England (NHLE) 1384000), approximately 53m to the west by south-west, Siege Ghyll (NHLE 1383987) approximately 14m to the south-west, and the Old Post Office and adjoining barn (NHLE 1383984), approximately 21m to the north-west. The telephone kiosk has a strong visual relationship with these three listed buildings.
