There is another forum member, bern351, who worked in the telegraph office in Sheffield around 1960. Unfortunately it is not possible to send a personal message to him via this forum. From what I remember, he told me was that the work involved sending messages about the movement of goods, waggons & trains, also communicating with signal boxes. They also sent telegrams for the public on payment of a fee. I can't remember the technical details but morse code & single-needle telegraphy were used for signalling. It all sounds like Victorian-era technology.
