A shipment of those good old 1970s telecommunication contraptions ...
... makes its way to the cavernous depths of the English Heritage's archaeological repository, where they'll rub shoulders with relics from Hadrian's Wall, Fountains Abbey, and an assorted bunch of other historic bits and bobs. It's like a time-travelling mishmash of epic proportions – where push button technology meet Roman mosaics, and dial tones serenade the solemnity of ancient ruins. One can only imagine the chuckles and gasps those telephones would elicit if they could share tales with their stony neighbours.
