Situated in Church Street, this redbrick TE would appear to date from the 1930s and has the code CMWESB. It provides telephone and broadband services to 11,927 residential and 1,071 non-residential premises in the West Bromwich area. Two pairs of blue double-doors which enable the digital equipment to be delivered can be seen in this photo, whilst a yellow grit salt bin is located behind the fencing.
