The K6 was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 for the General Post Office, on the occasion of King George V's Silver Jubilee. Giles Gilbert Scott (1880-1960) was one of the most important of modern British architects. The K6 was a development from his earlier highly successful K2 telephone kiosk design of 1924, of Neo-classical inspiration. The K6 was more streamlined aesthetically, more compact and more cost-effective to mass produce. Well over 10,000 K6s were eventually produced and many still remain, continuing to be an iconic feature on Britain's streetscapes.
The K6 is a standardised design made of cast iron, painted red overall with long horizontal glazing in door and sides and with the crowns situated on the top panels being applied not perforated. There are rectangular white display signs, reading TELEPHONE beneath the shallow-curved roof. It has modernised internal equipment. This kiosk is in poor condition; most of the glass panels are missing, the paintwork is badly damaged, the lettering on the display signs is almost indecipherable, and in addition one of its sides is covered in graffiti. This kiosk is situated just within the limits of the conservation area, and there are no listed buildings in its close vicinity, except Riverside Cottage (Grade II) located approximately 50m north from the kiosk, which, however, cannot be seen simultaneously.
This kiosk cannot be seen simultaneously with any listed buildings, and therefore does not have a strong visual relationship with more than one listed building. The kiosk therefore does not meet the criteria for designation in a national context. (1)
