Longnor Telephone Exchange (1)
Longnor Telephone Exchange (1)
Situated in Church Street, this TE comprises the front limestone building, which would date from the GPO era, and the dark wooden building behind it which was added more recently. This TE serves Longnor, plus Crowdicote, Earl Sterndale, Fawfieldhead, Hollinsclough and Newtown nearby. A microwave dish can just be seen fixed at the far end of the front building directed towards the BT radio station at Sutton Common, SJ 9367 refers, and presumably installed to improve telephone and broadband coverage.
