Situated in St Lawrence Street, this redbrick TE is adjacent to the Royal Mail Delivery Office, both being a reminder of when the GPO was responsible for posts and telephones until 1969. It has the code SLHC and provides telephone and broadband services to 3,497 residential and 332 non-residential premises in Horncastle plus the surrounding area including Dalderby, Edlington, Langton, Mareham on the Hill, Thimbleby and West Ashby. This TE can be recognised by the two white BT warning notices and two pale green generators at the front. A red Royal Mail van can just be seen parked to the left of the photo. The numbering range of this TE is (01507) 52xxxx, the (01507) referring to the Alford, Horncatle and Louth group of eighteen TEs, and its postcode is LN9 5DN.
