Comment on Telephone Exchanges in the UK

Comments

Interesting to see Kinghorn in the database (01592-89) because I toured the exchange as a child sometime in the late 1970s before it was brought into service (my Dad knew a bloke who worked for GEC). iirc it was a TXE4 system then, or at least of that generation. Building in a very poor state of repair now. Probably hasn't been painted since 1979!

I walked past there the other day (on the Fife coastal path) and wondered what the shabby building was - I had assumed it was an abandoned light industrial unit.
