Full Description
{1} Telephone kiosk: Situated on a wide grass verge north of The Croft, the kiosk is of K6 design, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V. The K6 was the first red telephone kiosk to be used widely outside of London. By 1985 they were considered to be high maintenance and many were decommissioned and removed. Holdenby’s kiosk is still in use. It is a good example of this type of kiosk and contributes to the historic character of the village.
