Situated in Horton, this TE used to take the name Cannings. Besides Horton, this TE also serves All Cannings, Allington, Bishop's Cannings, Coate and Etchilhampton nearby. This TE with a red K6 phone box and a small post box would date from the GPO era when they were a common sight in rural areas. Thankfully, some still remain although the phone box may be of a later model. The dark brown building with a louvre at its front would have been added somewhile after the redbrick TE was built. This TE has (01380) 860xxx numbers, the (01380) referring to the Devizes group of TEs, and its postcode is SN10 3NB.
