Telephone box, Painswick
K6 type telephone box. The spire of St Mary's Church is in the background.
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.

Former Post Office in Painswick
When this was a Post Office it was the oldest one in the country. It is unusual to see a part timber-frame building in Painswick, a town where Cotswold stone is the dominate building material. Note the fire insure plaque on the front of the building Image
