The imposing former Tradeston Telephone Exchange in Glasgow. Designed in a Neo-Baroque style, it was built around 1935. Due to changes in telecommunications technology, it became vacant in the 1970s, and despite a number of attempts to rejuvinate it over the years, it has lain pretty much abandoned and decaying ever since. The To Let sign seems like a relatively new addition.

This Is My Glasgow Dec 8

Anyone got any suggestions as to the function of this 2nd storey door on the old Douglas Telephone Exchange building on Hope Street in central Glasgow? It was constructed in 1910. I've been puzzling over it for a while, but can't come up with a reasonable explanation for why it's there.

The former Western Telephone Exchange on Highburgh Road in the west end of Glasgow. Built in 1907, it was designed by Leonard Stokes and Colin Menzies. It has now been converted into flats.

Attached: 1 video The whole place is, as you would expect, wonderfully electromechanical. Here’s a cool connection demonstrator.

This large "house" in #Stowmarket #Suffolk #England might look a bit unusual - round the corner you can see why - it is the local #TelephoneExchange ! (it is apparently going to be kept after analogue circuit switch off, as its used as a handover point for #fibre circuits)

I’ve been going around asking friends and acquaintances whether they’d like a number on my furry telephone exchange (FUR-xxxx on PhreakNet). So far, I’ve gotten four requests for subscriber number 3621. Unsurprising. #phreaknet #telephone #telephoneexchange #voip
