Hornchurch Telephone Exchange (3)
This photo shows the back entrance to the TE off North Street with an Openreach vehicle parked behind the gate. This TE was converted from Strowger to Digital operation on Wednesday 20th May 1992 with numbers being changed to (01708) 4xxxxx and 62xxxx numbers. A DVD called "Goodbye Strowger" was brought out in 2015 recording this change from Strowger mechanical switching to electronic digital switching at this TE. However with fibre-optic cabling being currently introduced throughout the United Kingdom, the operational time scale for this TE could well be numbered.
