First British Private Telephone
Fascinating to see in Devizes museum:
Wiltshire Heritage Museum - Telephones made by Alfred Cunnington, from descriptions by Edison in Scientific American, fitted in his vintner business, Old Town Hall, Devizes, Wiltshire, 1877 - first in England.
They seem to be unnoticed in histories of the telephone, as a lot happened very quickly in 1876-1878.
I often wish they had never been invented...
