West Bretton, Wakefield

Telephone Exchange and Box, West Bretton

Uploader's Comments

Situated on the A637 Huddersfield Road, this TE would appear to date from the GPO era, when it was, and still is, a common sight in rural areas for a telephone box to be located adjacent to it. The TE has a BT warning notice fixed on it whilst a yellow grit salt bin is to the left of the photo. A small red postbox on a black post behind the stone wall adds to the attractiveness of this scene. The KX100 telephone box takes e-mail, text and phone messages, whilst the former BT Peter Pan logo can be seen on its front. This TE has a numbering range (01924) 830xxx, the (01924) referring to the Wakefield group of TEs, and its postcode is WF4 4JY.
