In the 1950s a number of phone boxes across the UK were painted in neutral colours in the newly established National Parks to make them less visually obtrusive – the Brecon Beacons National Park was designated in 1957. No other painted phone boxes are known to have survived in Wales's National Parks.
K6-type telephone box of cast iron construction. Domed roof with 4 lunettes over glazed lettered panels marked 'Telephone'. Raised surrounds to sides and door with sidebar glazing to horizontal panels. Blank rear. Painted battleship grey.
Listed for architectural interest as a classic telephone box with an unusual colour scheme, and historic interest for its link to the establishment of Brecon Beacons National Park in 1957.
