On North Road, close to the junction with Boothferry Road, one of the city's distinctive cream-coloured phone boxes. Few of them still seem to be illuminated at night. Whether they serve any real purpose nowadays must be debatable; the number of kiosks (of all types) in Hull had fallen from over 1,000 to 297 as of 2017 but I suspect any attempt to remove them completely would be opposed locally. Of those remaining, about 125 are K6 kiosks like this. These are a unique variant of the Giles Gilbert Scott design, without the Royal crown, and can only be seen in Hull.
