| What we do | |
Interests covered by the Telecommunications Heritage Group (UK) include old telephones, telegraphs, phone kiosks and other hardware. The complete heritage of telecommunications - civil, military, transport, public, private, ancient and modern, British and foreign - is studied across the membership. A number of members offer help on particular subjects such as kiosk restoration and railway telecommunications. Some enthusiasts own restored vehicles or telephone kiosks, whilst others are responsible for running complete multi-exchange telephone systems on preserved railways, using vintage telephone equipment. Quite a few museums and preservation bodies have close links with the group.

The THG needs more people with a flair for writing and getting the message across. So come on get writing and contribute to the past, present or future, today !
THG members do collect obsolete exchange equipment and all kinds of telephones, telegraph and related apparatus but, all of these are simply static exhibits without the vital knowledge of :- The processes and procedures of how and why they achieved what they did. The THG aims to educate future generations as to the marvellous inventions of the past and to retain knowledge and skills that might otherwise be lost while having some fun in the process.
