I know it's Monday really...
We've got a few entries in the HER that relate to what we believe to be
early C20 long-distance telephone cable markers. The first
(http://webapp1.somerset.gov.uk/her/details.asp?prn=27012)was identified
in the 1980s by the (then) telephone museum in Taunton and described as
such, presumably by the museum. We've since found more along the line of
the A38 so presumably from Bristol to Exeter. Last week while in Sussex
I spotted another very nice example (pic attached).
Anyone else got these - or any more information about exactly what they
are? I won't ask for a Thesaurus term! ;)
