Description
The K6 telephone kiosk, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 and produced between 1936 and 1968, is located in a picturesque setting in front of the former West Mill in Dean Village, Edinburgh. This kiosk is made of cast iron and is painted in Post Office red. It features three sides of lying-pane glazing, with eight panes high and narrow margin lights. One glazed side has a cup handle aligned with the fourth and fifth panes, which forms the door, while the rear has a blind cast-iron panel that holds the telephone and a shelf. Each side of the kiosk displays a rectangular glass opal with the word "TELEPHONE" in black lettering, a vent below, and a central embossed crown above. The structure is topped with four segmental-headed pediments that terminate in a saucer dome.
