Telegraph Office, Telegraph Street, London, EC1. The Metropolitan Gallery, 1871.
Typical Post Office telegraph office of the late 19th century. This is the Metropolitan Gallery at Telegraph Street, London EC1. Some of the positions have Morse 'inkers' with a paper-tape record (a great luxury!). The station labels read BLACKHEATH (476), WEST STRANG (377), "Open Always', LONG ACRE, etc. ... even a teacup!
