Sir Giles Gilbert Scott was asked by the General Post Office to design a new kiosk for mass production in March 1935 and the K6 went into manufacture a year later.
K6, also known as the Jubilee Kiosk commemorating the Silver Jubilee of George V, was the first telephone kiosk to be used extensively outside London. Some 70,000 were installed in virtually every town and city between 1936 and 1968, replacing most of the existing kiosks and establishing thousands of new sites.
The Cold Norton K6 is in a reasonable condition despite missing a couple of glazing panel and being a bit green in places. It still has a working phone!
Unfortunately BT decided to remove the K6 in 2014. What a shame as this was such a local landmark. The cache was not in/on the K6 so it remains in place as a reminder to this now EX-K6.
If anyone would like to add to the K6 caches would you kindly send Cloggers an email so they can see if and how they're progressing.
