Situated in Church Street, this TE is of a standard design dating from the late 1960s and common throughout the United Kingdom. It has the code EMBROUG and provides telephone and broadband services to 1,807 residential and 34 non-residential premises in Broughton, plus Great Cransley, Little Cransley, Mawsley and Pytchley nearby. On the blue gates can be seen a BT warning notice and a notice that says "Please do not park in front of these gates". Also, there is a blue postbox on the gates, although it is unlikely it will receive much post apart from a bill every so often for electricity that the TE uses, which must be considerable. A BT Openreach van can just be seen at the side of this TE to the right of the photo. The numbering range of this TE is (01536) 790xxx, the (01536) referring to the Kettering group of ten TEs, and its postcode is NN14 1LU.
