Advert Description
The red telephone box was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (1880- 1960) and, along with the red post box and the red London bus, is an instantly recognizable symbols of Britain.
Scott's design of the K2 cast iron telephone kiosk won a Post Office sponsored competition in 1924. His updated K6 design follwed in 1935.
This is a beautifully aged original K6 telephone box. Perfect as a garden feature, light, flower box, green house it’s an adaptable and great looking piece sure to make a statement!
Overall in great condition, it’s had a touch up of paint and wax and has mostly all glass panels, one of the small panels have a crack through, it has aged very well and is a very sturdy and strong piece that is sure to last a very very long time.
Most of K6 telephone boxes have been removed from our streets and sold off. The replacement boxes are less pleasing to the eye and have little design merit.
Fortunately, however, about 2000 red telephone boxes were declared listed buildings and remain in place.
