  • Peter, thanks for your comment. Can you add any further information? I would like to understand more about Treleaver and its role during the Cold War. My e-mail is keithray8888@hotmail.co.uk. The artifacts from the Cold War era fascinate me, as so much is still intact but so secret from us until recently. I am especially interested in the 'Backbone' microwave network which was planned as a parallel comunication network, and the three deep telephone exchanges (Manchester, Birmingham and London) which still exist intact. Best regards Keith
