Dist:0.2km north<br/>Racks of Strowger 2-motion selectors. These were in use in Lords Telephone Exchange until the early 1990's when they were finally phased out, replaced by modern equipment. These were in the Tandem unit - see [[905933]] for more information about Lords Telephone Exchange.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Back in the days when this was a Strowger Telephone Exchange, staff were based here to provide service to the local customers. Here in a snowstorm we see some of the vans in the yard behind the exchange. Getting their drivers out of the canteen must have been a nightmare that day:-) For the record, the nearest is a Vauxhall Viva and the others are 15cwt Commers. Post Office Telecommunications were just about the last major orderers of these types. The buildings beyond the wall are on Hall road and the trees and houses visible through the gap between the buildings are on Hamilton Terrace.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Apartments on Maida Vale. A private road provides access and parking for residents. The single storey building with the light brown tiles on the left was a branch of the National Provincial Bank in the 1970's, evidence is still visible where the letters were screwed to the tiles. It is currently in use as offices.
