 | | Farewell Graham Bell |
| | John Coop has been in touch about the death of Graham 'Dinger' Bell.
Sad news I’m afraid. Graham passed away on Saturday 19th January. He had been suffering from dementia for 2 to 3 years and had further complications resulting in his death.
Graham worked on Trunk Test in Dial House for several years before transferring to the Training School at Didsbury. When the school closed he went back to Dial House until his retirement.
Please circulate details for those who knew him.
Cheers John

 | | Telecommunications Heritage Conference |
| |  Dave Holt contacted us about this event being held at Salford Universality.
As part of the Greater Manchester Archaeology Festival 2019, which is held in conjunction with the Greater Manchester Archaeology Federation, we are pleased to offer this one day, free, Telecommunications Heritage Conference. Held in association with the University of Salford’s Centre for Applied Archaeology and Connected Earth and supported by the Institute of Telecommunications Professionals, this conference will explore the history of telecommunications and its impact on society and the development of industrial cities such as Manchester.
If you would like to offer a contribution to this conference, please check out the website link below. Presentation slots are 25 minutes with an additional 5 minutes for questions and discussion.
Contributions are welcome on a broad range of telecommunications topics and whilst a Manchester link is especially welcomed, this is not an essential requirement.
Equally, if you would rather not deliver a presentation, we do welcome other forms of contribution which could, for example, include bringing along old photographs, ephemera or relevant artefacts for people to see.
If you are a former employee of a telecommunications company and worked within Greater Manchester, then we would be particularly interested in your recollections and memories of that time and the places where you worked.
10:00 - 16:00 Saturday 22nd June 2019,
Peel Building,
University of Salford,
M5 4WT
