Where was this exchange? Was it at the old post office at Broad Street?
Added by Alison on 28 October 2008
I think it was above what is the antique shop at the big tree

It was the home of the two Miss Gunn's. As demand for telephones grew, so did the exchange, taking over most of the house. It had, I think, five positions in the 1940's, a staff of telephonists, and Beena Gunn as their supervisor.
