You can just make out the houses on the right hand side, where the green car is, 6 houses obscured by trees, that are more correctly should be in Thaxton Road and not Marchbank. The houses and block of flats on the left are in Marchbank Road, and part of the notorious West Kensington estate.

Fulham Telephone Exchange (2)
Taken from North End Road, this photo shows the back of the TE with a jib on the roof above the two entrance doors where the equipment is delivered from outside. This TE used to have FULham telephone numbers until the late 1960s, but now has numbers beginning with 0207, the 0207 referring to the Inner London group of TEs. More recently, lines connected to the former TEs at Earl's Court (TQ2678) and West Kensington (TQ2479) have been transferred to the Fulham TE.

Fulham Telephone Exchange (1)
Situated in Telephone Place SW6 1TJ, this TE dates from 1950 as indicated on the cipher above the entrance to the right of the photo. It has the code WRFULM and provides telephone and broadband services to the Fulham area plus Earl's Court and West Kensington nearby. Ventilation louvres can be seen on some of the windows, presumably to keep the TE air-cooled.
