Description
The K6 telephone kiosk at Cold Ashby is a standardised design made of cast iron and painted red overall. It features long horizontal glazing in the door and sides, with crowns applied to the top panels rather than being perforated. There are rectangular white display signs reading "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow-curved roof. The kiosk has modernised internal equipment, and while it retains glass windows, the display signs above the doors are faded and discoloured, and the red paint is flaking in many areas.
This telephone kiosk is prominently located on a grass island on the north side of Main Street, near the former village post office, which is not listed. It is approximately 25 meters south-west of the scheduled remains of a monastic grange east of Manor Farm and 25 meters north-west of the Old Forge, which is listed at grade II.
The interior contains modern telecommunications equipment, which is not considered to have special architectural or historic interest according to the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
