Telephone box, Atworth
A K6 type telephone box beside the A365.
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.

Weather vane, Atworth
Weather vanes have always been more than just a wind direction device. Created by skilled craftsman, there is true artistic expression in the varied designs. Initially wood vanes were carved by carpenters or furniture makers, and iron, copper and tin ones were forged by the local blacksmith or tinsmith. In the 19th century weather vanes started to be mass-produced from moulds.

Atworth's old post office
Now a private residence, this was the village office - next to Post Office Lane, no less. It's just possible to make out old painted text on the middle string course, although it is no longer legible.

An unusually shaped bus shelter
This stone shelter is patently used for waiting passengers, what with the timetable attached to the wall. However, it is not really what it was first built for. Look inside and you will see a water pump! See Image
