My Grandad (a ref) died before he gave me the answer to this question.
What was the 6 yard box "originally" used for. Not goal kicks by the way.
There you go.

If he died before giving you the answer, does that mean you don't know it?

Indirect free kicks and by the attacking team in the 22 yard area have to be outside the 6 yard area? Same goes for drop balls.

it was defined as the area where you weren't allowed to batter the goalie (unless he was holding the ball).
Back then you could charge the poor bugger into the net, but the goal area was set up to afford him some protection
