Sròn Gharbh, Argyll and Bute

GPO Cable Terminal station, Islay

Uploader's Comments

This sturdy little building was built to last by the GPO (General Post Office) before the days of BT. It was the control station for the Islay terminus of the GPO submarine telephone cable to the island. It is now, I believe, unused as it has been superseded.
