Broadway. Cotswolds. K6 telephone boxes.
Broadway. Cotswolds. K6 telephone boxes.

Part of the present street scene thanks to persistant locals no doubt. The old telephone boxes do add a splash of colour. It's hard to believe that they have only been part of the street scene for less than a hundred years! These particular examples are of the common K6 phone box, introduced throughout London and the provinces for general use in 1936, replacing the larger K2 box of 1926. Both were designs by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, although his original colour scheme of silver was not adhered to, red being thought more suitable by the Post Office.
