Telephone Kiosk
GV II
BUILDING: K6 telephone box
DATE: The K6 was designed in 1935; the date of this example is not known.
ARCHITECT: Giles Gilbert Scott
MATERIALS: Cast iron, glass
EXTERIOR: The K6 kiosk was a development on Scott's 1924 K2 design. It has two glazed sides and on the third side a glazed door, all with narrow panes either side of a wider central panel of horizontal panes, beneath a domical roof. In the segmental upper structure on each side is a relief crown, placed above a glazed panel bearing the word TELEPHONE.
SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: The archetypal K6 telephone kiosk was designed by the eminent architect Giles Gilbert Scott (of Battersea Power Station and Liverpool Cathedral fame) in 1935 to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of King George V, and was a development on Scott's 1924 K2 design. It is of special interest for the quality of the architectural design as applied to an industrially produced object of mass communication. Some 70,000 K6s were ultimately produced. This K6 telephone kiosk stands at the heart of the small village of Shipley, where it makes a significant contribution to its setting. It lies within a conservation area, and has a strong visual relationship with two Grade II listed buildings and more remote visual relationship with a Grade II* windmill.
