Muswell Hill Telephone Exchange (2)
This photo shows the TE in Grand Avenue N10 3AY, with trees to the left. It used to have HIGhgate Wood and TUDor numbers until the late 1960s. Now it has 0208- 444, 883 xxxx, plus other Outer London numbers. Incidentally, HIGhgate Wood was the first all-electronic TE in Great Britain in the early 1960s, but following trials that took place, the electronic equipment was taken out in the mid 1960s. Now this TE has System X digital equipment as do other TEs throughout the country. Incidentally, the notice in red on the gates says "No parking in this area" although a large white car is parked in front of those same gates.

Muswell Hill Telephone Exchange (1)
Situated in Grand Avenue, this TE, which has the code LNMUS, would appear to date from the 1930s like several others in Greater London. It provides telephone and broadband services to 16,296 residential and 783 non-residential premises in Muswell Hill plus Colney Hatch, Cranley Gardens and Fortis Green nearby. The wording "TELEPHONE EXCHANGE" can be seen above the grey doors to the left of the building. Also, the notices adjacent to the doors say "No parking in front of these gates" and "No parking in this area", the latter being on a red background.
