Have you worked as a Telephonist or an Engineer?
Do telecommunications feature in your work?
Tell us about your past or present involvement with the Telecoms Industry.

Do you collect old telephones (or modern ones)?
Do phones have an aesthetic appeal? Did you take Technical Drawing or Art & Design at College?

Do you have an interest in English Heritage, or preserving the past?

Why not join the THG? New women (and men) members are welcome.

Do you remember doing clerical work in a telephone exchange, office, government department or outstation?
Did you carry out machine processing, or tabulating work of any kind?

In what surroundings did you work?  What were the daily procedures?

Did you work on a busy switchboard in the Sixties? Did you keep up with the fashion or perhaps you worked for the Services where a more strict dress code was applied?
Tell us what YOU remember about the GPO, engineering, switchboards, connecting calls, Post Office Telephones, or any relevant work.

Did any of your family play a vital role in World War II?

Did your Mother or a close relative work at Bletchley Park?

Perhaps you are researching more recent history?

Do you have Telephony in the Blood ?

Tell us about it

The THG is keen to record your memories of bygone days and would like to capture on tape or in writing the daily routines of working for the GPO, Post Office, British Telecom and even the early days of BT.

If you are interested in the Communications Industry...

The THG likes to think that it appeals to a broad cross-section of the community, including everyone who has an interest in Telecommunications. We are very keen to hear from more women interested in telecommunications heritage, and people who are willing to research historical information, and present it in a lively format.
There must be plenty of memories out there just waiting to be recorded by those who have a flair for writing and creativity.
