Battlesbridge Essex

The Old Telephone Company is located in The Old Granary, which is part of Battlesbridge Antiques Centre complex.
The Old Granary has wheelchair access to the ground floor. There are antique and collectables dealers on three floors.
There is a cafe on the 4th floor serving all day breakfasts and light refreshments. Every table has window seats with views of the River Crouch; Battlesbridge Harbour; remains of the tide mill and mill pond, and the other buildings of the antiques centre.
The whole antiques centre covers a several acre site on the banks of The River Crouch and is reputed to be the largest antiques centre in East Anglia.

If you have a telephone in your possession that you want to know more about, or have repaired or converted, please have it right next to you when you call. It is not sufficient just to have a note of any markings or to rely on memory. It may be useful to have a selection of small flat bladed screwdrivers to hand.
