Purely coincidentally, this came up on another forum...

It's in Ramsgate, which is not that far from me. We're going this week...

As an apprentice undergraduate electronic engineer at STL back in about 1980, I worked on the design of the TXE 4A exchanges.

got some braggin rights here....
my mum was a supervisor at the Hitchin exchange in the 60s so I got to spend many happy hours in the equipment room watching the strowgers clicking. But most importantly I got to have lunch at the top of the PO tower.
