Telephone Exchange – Barrow in Furness

British Telecom Telephone Exchange Abbey Road Barrow in Furness LA14 5QZ

I took a train in the rain to Barrow in Furness.

I alighted, bathed in bright sunlight.

I espied a telephone Exchange.

The original building was designed by MOPBW senior architect M Williams and job architect P Chilton around 1966-67. Senior architect RN Dixon – of modernist talk fame, and job architect P Joyce were involved with some detailing around 1968, before Dixon designed an extension in 1972.

Thanks to Lisa at Telephone_Exchange for the facts!

So I took some time to look around, I politely suggest that you should too.
