Description

A K6 telephone kiosk designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, dating from after 1955 and located in the small rural settlement of Dergenagh, County Tyrone, approximately 4 miles from Cabragh, beside 67 Dergenagh Road.

The kiosk is constructed of cast-iron, painted red, with a teak door. It features glazed panels on all elevations, with most retaining their original glass; only a few have been replaced with perspex. Each elevation displays the St Edward's crown motif contained within an inserted plate, positioned above a glazed panel marked "TELEPHONE". The door opens to the south-east, and following standard arrangement, the south-west elevation which faces the rear garden of number 67 is blank.

The K6 model was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of King George V. The design was developed from Scott's earlier models, the K2 (introduced in 1926) and K3 (1929). Compact and easily mass-produced, it was distributed throughout the United Kingdom from 1936 and became the most successful telephone kiosk type, with approximately 60,000 installed nationally. Some 8,000 were placed under the "Jubilee Concession", which allowed towns and villages with a post office to apply for a kiosk, whilst a further 1,000 were installed under the "Tercentenary Concession" (celebrating the Post Office's 300th anniversary) between 1937 and 1949 for local authorities paying a five-year subscription of £4.

A modification to the K6 design occurred after the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, when the Tudor crown motif was replaced with the St Edward's crown. From 1955, the Crown of Scotland was used for kiosks in Scotland, with a slot in the fascia permitting either version to be inserted into all kiosks manufactured from that date onwards. The model remained in production until 1968, when the more modernist K8, designed by Bruce Martin, was introduced.

This kiosk appears on the Ordnance Survey map dated 1973. Apart from the loss of the telephone, it remains largely intact. Once common street furniture, these kiosks are now increasingly rare.
