K6 telephone kiosk at Cold Ashby

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 doors are faded and discoloured, and the red paint is flaking in many places. It retains glass windows.

The telephone kiosk stands in a prominent location on a grass island, on the north side of Main Street, close to the former village post office (not listed). It is approximately 25m south-west of the scheduled remains of a monastic grange east of Manor Farm, and 25m north-west of the Old Forge (listed at grade II).

INTERIOR: 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.
