G.P.O. Cable Junction Marker
Installed sometime prior to October 1969, this small General Post Office marker between whinstone setts and cobbles in Front Street, Brampton, indicates the location of an underground telephone cable junction (location phottograph NY5361 : Cobbles and setts). These markers were used to help telephone engineers locate cables when they needed to carry out repairs or maintenance.
