D24762. A rare K4 Telephone Kiosk which incorporates a post box and stamp vending machines in the back wall.
They were designed in 1925 and introduced in 1930, but not terribly successful. The stamp machines were noisy and disturbed the telephone conversations; they were also susceptible to wet weather which affected the adhesive on the stamps.

This example is preserved on the platform at Cranmore Station on the East Somerset Railway.
