Antennae at Kenton Telephone Exchange
Various antennae and radio masts adorn the roof of Kenton Telephone Exchange. The antennae are for point-to-point microwave communications for telephony networks, and the unusual pronged one is a cellular radio mast. The building closest to the road predated British Telecom, so would have been General Post Office property originally. It housed the old electromechanical exchange (Strowger type) and also the main distribution frame where all the external cables terminated, whilst the new building housed the TXE4 electronic exchange. Thanks to various contributors for additional information.
