| | Hi
For those with an interest in local telecoms heritage, Nigel Linge, Professor Emeritus of The University of Salford is running a local heritage project as follows.
If interested please follow the weblink below to contact Nigel directly.
Thanks
Andy Simmons

The weblink for Nigel's project is: www.manchestertelecomheritage.com/projects.php
Background
In essence, Nigel is trying to map the usage by telecommunications companies of buildings within central Manchester and its border with Salford. His focus is within living memory and so his plan is to informally interview people who worked for a telecoms company in Manchester. That is any company and any role, not just BT and not just engineers. Buildings are re-purposed or demolished, companies come and go, records can be lost, and consequently, important heritage becomes eroded, but knowledge remains locked in the minds and memories of those who worked there. So, for any given building, Nigel would like to better understand what function it served, how it was organised internally, and what were the experiences of those who worked within it.
His longer term, 12-18 month plan, is to write a book that records Manchester’s telecommunications heritage.
By following the above weblink, people can log an interest in the project by completing an online form. That sends an alert through to Nigel which prompts him to contact people directly and discuss how they might be able to arrange an informal interview. |
