Syresham Telephone Exchange

Located at 10 Main Road, this TE has the code SMSYR. It provides telephone and broadband services to 451 residential and 66 non-residential premises in Syresham plus Biddlesden, Crowfield and Whitfield nearby. The front building would appear to have been constructed in the GPO era whilst the wooden shed behind it may date from the 1970s. Like other TEs where there are two buildings, the second one would probably have been built to cope with increased telephone traffic. Both buildings would appear still to be in use and the BT warning notices can be clearly seen in front of them to inform the public to keep away from the TE. It has (01280) 850xxx numbers, the (01280) referring to the Buckingham group of five TEs, and its postcode is NN13 5HE.
