Very classy Mr Nelly..on the subject of dolls,when I went down Middleton mine,we came across an area where someone had placed about 30 dolls all in a sort of circle.weird.Someone had to actually lug em all down there!

Hand-written diary entries, old style pissers, tiles going up the side of the stairs, analogue electronics on a circuit diagram . . . gaaaaahhhh That place is amazing.

A doll in a power station is a bit strange but hey, what ever floated their boat!

The equipment racks shown in the first batch of photo's relate to a 1940's era telephone exchange.

Is that odd, Hydealfred, would they have had a telephone exchange like that in a power station?

Im not sure on that but that is what the equipment racks are. I thought they were so I checked with my brother who is a telecoms engineer and he confirmed it. I remember seeing the same type of equipment in a local exchange years back. Apparently the equipment is still in use in some places to this day.
