Situated in Mount Pleasant, this TE serves Stoke Goldington and Ravenstone nearby. The front building dates from the GPO era, but has been fitted more recently with ventilation louvres, presumably to keep it air-cooled. The brown wooden building behind it would have been added possibly during the 1970s to cope with an increase in telephone traffic. There is a BT warning notice on the metal gate. This TE has (01908) 551xxx numbers and its postcode is MK16 8LL.
