  • BT Archives British Phone Books
    January 2013 British Phone Books BT Archives maintains a near complete collection of original phone books for the United Kingdom from 1880, the year after the public telephone service was introduced into the UK. It also holds phone books for Southern Ireland until 1921 and the creation of Eire as a separate state. The collection contains phone books produced by BT and by the predecessor organisations from which BT is directly descended, including Post Office Telecommunications and private telephone companies. The phone books reflect the development of the NTC Phone Book, Yorkshire District, telephone service in the UK, covering exclusively January 1888 (TPF/1/3) London when the telephone was first available; they gradually expand to include major provincial centres and are ultimately nationwide.

The running season this year has been following a typical pattern, with many minor incidents to keep us amused. Among the more interesting occurred on the July running day. The railway was running at full capacity, when at about 1553, the clock in the clubhouse stopped. At the same time the main air compressor, which supplies compressed air to operate the points and semaphore signals, failed and the water supply to the station was lost, causing problems for steam locomotives. Coincidentally the power supplies for the signalling system all failed. Drivers on the track reported that all the signal lights went out.

  • 56: November 1999
    THE ALKAN SOCIETY President: RONALD SMITH Secretary: PETER J. GROVE 21 Heronswood, SALISBURY, Wiltshire SP28DH Tel/fax +44-[0]-1722-325771 BULLETIN NO.56: NOVEMBER 1999 I begin too often with an apology for the long delay of our Bulletin. There was a shortage of news at the beginning of the year, and since the summer there has been a shortage of time and efficiency. As my French counterpart has reminded me in no uncertain terms, our Bulletins are our only contact with most of our members. Please be assured that the Society is still running; our bank account is well in the black; and we can look forward to some exciting events in the year 2000. I must thank all the members who kept the faith by sending subscriptions or donations during this fallow year. Your contributions have all been recorded, and if you wish I will carry them over for 2000. If, in the usual rush to fill envelopes once the bulletin is printed and ready for dispatch, I enclose a form for subscriptions or donations which you feel is unnecessary, then please be assured that I will keep your name on the mailing list. As you will read later, we can certainly use some new funds, so any donations or subscriptions for 2000 will be welcomed and acknowledged. I intend to issue a receipt or membership card for the coming year, with each paid-up member allocated a reference number. This will enable you to obtain discounts on some products such as the new CDs of the chamber music and the CD from Symposium Records containing Nicholas King's organ recital.
