THE CRESCENT (south side) K6 Telephone Kiosk 42 metres south of South Transept door to Selby Minster

(Formerly listed as K6 Telephone Kiosk 7 metres south of South Transept door to Selby Minster)

GV II Telephone kiosk. Type K6. Designed 1935 by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. Made by various contractors. Cast iron. Square kiosk with domed roof. Unperforated crowns to top panels and margin glazing to windows and door.

The K6 was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 for the General Post Office, on the occasion of King George V's Silver Jubilee, and was a development from his earlier highly successful K2 telephone kiosk design of 1924. The K6 was more streamlined aesthetically, more compact and more cost-effective to mass produce. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (1880-1960) was one of the most important of modern British architects; his many celebrated commissions include the Anglican cathedral of Liverpool and Battersea Power Station. Over 70,000 K6s were eventually produced.
