This redbrick TE is in High Road, Apsley End SG5 3LU and would appear to date from the early 1980s when it replaced the former TEs in Pirton and Shillington. It has the code SMSGN and provides telephone and broadband services to Gravenhurst, Holwell, Pirton and Shillington plus the surrounding rural area. The numbering range of this TE is (01462) 71xxxx, the (01462) referring to the Hitchin group of ten TEs. A yellow grit salt bin can be seen in front of the TE.
