Dist:0.3km<br/>This photo shows the extension to this TE, the original building being on the left of the photo. BT warning notices can be seen on this building, whilst the BT Openreach vans are on the right. The microwave dish on the roof of the extension would appear to be directed towards the BT radio station at Rowridge, SZ 4486 refers. The circular roadsigns by the gate would be informing BT staff to turn right as Crocker Street where the TE is situated, is a one-way street.
