Public telephone and post box at a corner store. A reminder of a time past when both telecoms and postal services were operated by one government department. January 2014.
Upgrading a communications cable pit. The grey cables (with red soil stain) are lead. Some cables are pressurised with dry air at the telephone exchange. This is to resist water entering the cable if the outer covering is damaged. The flow of air from the exchange also provides an alert to damage. Two valves for local pressure reading can seen on the lead joints. January 2014.
