Telephone Call Boxes, Fort George

The Telephone Call Boxes at Fort George consist of a set of three K6 telephone kiosks, situated in a lane to the west of the former artillery block. Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, these kiosks were created to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of King George V's coronation in 1935.

Each K6 kiosk is made from cast-iron sections that are bolted together on a concrete base. They have a four-sided rectangular shape topped with a domed roof. Three sides of the kiosks feature glazing, consisting of eight rows of three panes of glass, with a wide central pane flanked by two narrower outer panes. The back panel is a blank, moulded section that matches the dimensions of the windows and includes cable holes on either side of the foundry plate located at the base of the kiosks.

Above the main body of the kiosks is a plain entablature that is set back from the front. This entablature includes a rectangular slot for signage, adorned with trim moulding, and houses an illuminated telephone sign. Below the signage slot are ventilation slots. The domed roofs are designed with segmental pediments that have a convex moulded edge, and the pediments are topped with a moulded Royal Crown.
