K6 Telephone Kiosk

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 telephone kiosk’s display signs above the door have not faded, although the red paint is flaking in some places and two of the glass panes are broken.

The K6 is situated at the centre of the village of Coton and occupies a prominent position on the main road, next to the village post box. It is surrounded by three listed buildings: Coton Manor, Spinney Cottage, and Merrie End, all of which are listed at Grade II. The telephone kiosk has a strong visual relationship with these three listed buildings collectively.

Pursuant to s.1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, it is declared that the modern telecommunications equipment within the K6 is not of special architectural or historic interest.
