Description

The telephone call box on Market Street in Bo'ness is a standard K6 telephone kiosk designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935, with production occurring from 1936 to 1968. It features three sides of lying-pane glazing, with eight panes high and narrow margin lights. One side has a glazed door with a cup handle aligned with the fourth and fifth panes. The rear of the kiosk has a blind cast-iron panel that holds the telephone and a shelf. Each face of the kiosk displays a rectangular opal glass panel with the word "TELEPHONE" in black lettering, a vent below, and a central embossed crown on top. The structure rises into four segmental-headed pediments that culminate in a saucer dome. The kiosk is made of cast iron and is painted in Post Office red.
