Located at 6 Collingwood Road, this TE dates from 1936 and has the code SDSHNKL. It provides telephone and broadband services to 5,139 residential and 503 non-residential premises in Shanklin plus Apse Heath, Luccombe, Newchurch, Whiteley Bank and Winford nearby. The wording "TELEPHONE EXCHANGE" can be seen between the upper and lower windows, although one could be forgiven that this building was a smart detached house surrounded by trees instead of a TE.
