Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Lords Telephone Exchange. Nowhere near the cricket ground, the building was originally known as Cunningham telephone exchange. The exchange was built in 1937 and at one time housed two local telephone exchange strowger units, a tandem exchange (used for routing of calls only), a manual exchange and a directory enquiries bureau. For an example of Strowger equipment in the Tandem unit have a look at 940590. A new building was added at the back to house new TXE4 local units, the first of the type to enter service in London. The curved building behind the main building is the staircase / fire escape for both and was often referred to as the conning tower. The original building suffered a fire in the 1990's. All the old equipment was removed and much of the building was subsequently sold off to become offices and apartments - the latter being called Manywell Heights (apartment info from David Hillas). A small amount of modern equipment to provide local services is retained within the building. |
