Description
This is a telephone call box made of cast iron, designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, a London architect. The design was introduced by the General Post Office in 1936, and this particular box likely dates from the reign of George VI. It features a domed roof with four lunettes that have embossed crowns, along with red-lettered opals and ventilation slits, although the original opal is missing on the roadside. The sides and door have raised surrounds with marginal bars on the horizontal glazing, and the rear is blank with a moulded plinth.
