K6 Telephone Kiosk

The K6 telephone kiosk is a standardised design dating from the 20th century, specifically 1935, and made of cast iron. It is painted red overall and features long horizontal glazing in the door and sides. Applied, non-perforated crowns are located on the top panels, and rectangular white display signs read "TELEPHONE" beneath the shallow curved roof. The internal equipment has been modernised. At the time of inspection, the kiosk was operational and in a reasonable state of repair, with only minor damage to the door; all of the glazing is original glass, with no plastic replacements.

Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott for the General Post Office to commemorate King George V's Silver Jubilee, the K6 was a more streamlined, compact, and cost-effective development of his earlier K2 telephone kiosk design. Over 70,000 K6 kiosks were produced.

The kiosk is situated on the broad village green, which forms the heart of Fearby Green, adjacent to the Grade II listed buildings of Chapel Farm and Holly Farm. The open setting strengthens the visual relationship between the kiosk and these listed buildings.

The K6 telephone kiosk is designated at Grade II for its group value and contribution to the setting of the Conservation Area, serving as a focal point on the village green and representing an important milestone in 20th-century industrial design.
