Bubwith Main Street, undated, but note the telegraph poles, and the absence of TV antennas (1950s?). I visited my mum last night in a Stamford Bridge Nursing home, and chatted with Nora Bowes who was raised in Bubwith and has written a book on it. I asked her when phones arrived in Bubwith and she said her parents were one of the first people in the village to have a phone installed in 1948, and she remembers the public phone being installed in 1950, as she used to use it to phone her prospective husband just prior to their marriage in that year.
