Description
The K6 telephone box on Elkington Lane in Winwick is a standardised design made of cast iron and painted red. It features long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with crowns on the top panels that are applied rather than perforated. The kiosk has rectangular white display signs reading "TELEPHONE" beneath a shallow-curved roof. Although the internal equipment has been modernised, the display signs above the doors are still visible, albeit faded and discoloured, and the paint is flaking. The kiosk retains its glass windows.
This telephone kiosk is prominently situated on Elkington Lane, approximately 42 metres northeast of Bridge Cottage, which is listed Grade II, and 105 metres east of the Old Orphanage, also listed Grade II. It is surrounded by the scheduled site of Winwick Medieval Settlement, defined by two areas of protection. The modern telecommunications equipment within the K6 is not considered to be of special architectural or historic interest.
