K6 telephone kiosk opposite Glebe House, Staverton

A K6 telephone kiosk, from a design of 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.

The kiosk stands at the corner of Manor Road and Glebe Road, near the centre of the village of Staverton. It is situated within a Conservation Area and is surrounded by several C18 houses built in local ironstone. The kiosk has a collectively strong visual relationship with three listed buildings; Holly Cottage (Grade II) and Dover Cottage (Grade II) approximately 25m and 30m to the east respectively, and Stonedge (Grade II) approximately 30m to the south.

The K6 is a standardised design made of cast iron, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in 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.

INTERIOR: the glass is intact; the kiosk houses modernised telephone equipment*.

• Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that the modernised telephone equipment is not of special architectural or historic interest.
