The red telephone kiosk was the result of a competition in 1924 to design a telephone box  and the K2 design by Giles Gilbert Scott, a noted architect, was selected. They were installed across the country from 1926. Later Scott designed the K6 which was introduced in 1935, to commemorate the silver jubilee of King George V. It was a smaller version of the K2, and went on to be installed prolifically around the country from the mid 1930s to the 1960s.

This example in Norman’s Bay had deteriorated to a poor condition until it was rescued by Bexhill Heritage who restored it. The completion of the restoration was marked in April 2025 with a ceremony when the author broadcaster David Dimbleby cut the ribbon.
