Telephony In Greater Manchester : ウィキペディア英語版 | Telephony In Greater Manchester The City of Manchester and some surrounding urban areas such as Stockport, Salford, Oldham and Bolton, (now forming parts of Greater Manchester), were the location of several advances in the development of telephony in the United Kingdom. A Manchester company installed the countries' first regular telephone system in the city, wiring solutions which were adopted across Britain were initiated in Manchester and Stockport, the city was (arguably) the site of the UK’s first telephone exchange〔http://www.mosi.org.uk/media/33871608/early%20manchester%20telephone%20exchanges.pdf〕 and a service which was the forerunner of modern mobile phones was controlled from the city.〔http://www.btplc.com/today/art91356.html〕 == UK’s first regular telephone service == In November 1877, while telephony was in its infancy, just 18 months after Alexander Graham Bell had made the World’s first phone call, Charles Moseley, the son of a Manchester rubber manufacturer (then making telegraph equipment), took an interest in Bell’s work. Moseley employed an engineer called William Fereday Bottomley to obtain telephone instruments from the Bell Company in Boston, USA, and provided the Post Office with its first telephones.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/articles/2008/03/06/060308_telephone_feature.shtml〕 Bell himself had first demonstrated the telephone to Queen Victoria who placed the UK’s first long distance call from Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, on 14 January 1878. Just twelve days later, after obtaining a licence from the Post Office, Moseley installed a telephone between a hardware merchants establishment (Thomas Hudson Ltd) on Shudehill, Manchester to the companies' offices on Dantzic Street: the first such telephone in regular use in the country〔https://www.btplc.com/Thegroup/BTsHistory/1851to1880/1878.htm.〕
