Situated in The Meadows NP15 1BT, this rather unprepossessing TE dates from the late 1960s when several were built as part of the modernisation of the telephone service at that time. It has the code SWUAH and provides telephone and broadband services to approximately 1,634 residential and 216 non-residential premises in Usk, Coed-y-paen, Gwehelog, Gwernesney, Llanbadoc, Llantrisant and the surrounding rural area. The numbering range of this TE is (01291) 67xxxx, the (01291) referring to the Chepstow group of seven TEs.
