The party started at midday and went on to midnight for the benefit of day and night staff on various duties. Although operator services worked out of the North Block in the 1920s, it is thought that Switchroom 2A may not have opened before the mid 1930s. |
The words on the cake read:
LFICC 2A 1928-1981.
Icons: Satellite to cableship (Marisat service), Camels and Pyramids (Egypt), Earth station and Post Office Tower.

The cake baked by the Caroone House chef for the closing party which was held in 2A on 10th June 1981. |
