Description

Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, 1935. Standard K6 telephone kiosk.

Statement of Interest

These kiosks are prominently sited by the arcaded north side of the Town House. The K6 is a modified version of the K2 (also designed by Gilbert Scott), the most notable alteration being to the glazing. Instead of regular-sized panes of glass of Georgian proportions, the vertical glazing bars were moved sideways, to create a broad central light with narrow margin lights.
