Telephone box, Ainderby Steeple
A K6 style telephone box stands at the far end of the village green.
In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.

The village is blessed with a pretty village green but the bus shelter and its attendants give the area a bit of a neglected look.
