‘I think it’s great that it’s all still here, it’s real history and it’s not every day that you can just walk into an old telephone exchange.’
‘It was very interesting, took me back quite a few years for sure, to see the technology from those days still around. I do hope you can keep this in some exhibition format for the future generations to see how things worked before the internet.’
‘It was fascinating, it would be great if you kept it as a permanent fixture. Maybe get some more of the telecoms equipment, show how it works.’
