Location

I'm trying to find the location of this exchange in order to geocode the article. All the sources are off-line and I don't have access to them. The Muswell Hill exchange exchange code LNMUS is fairly near Highgate wood google maps streetview and used to pilot new technology news. Could they be the same exchange?

Heh, I'd not actually seen your comment, but I'd come to the same conclusion as you that it was probably the one on Grand Avenue - not least because this lists HW as serving Muswell Hill. So I WP:BOLDly geotagged it as such, but it would be nice to know for certain. Le Deluge (talk) 16:36, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(Chrisb802 (talk) 22:40, 29 March 2012 (UTC))What's not understood here is that the 'exchange name' is not the building. An exchange building may contain several different 'exchanges'. In the context of London;s phone system of the time an exchange was upto 10K lines, theoretically numbered 0000-9999 prefixed by a code related to the name of the exchage so MUS was 687.[reply]

I think it is the building in Muswell Hill and I will change it thus with a ref. That building is indeed quite close to Highgate Wood, the geographical feature, and is absolutely not in Highgate. DBaK (talk) 20:56, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
