From The Wiltshire Times, Saturday 8th February 1936:
Imber. A Telephone Exchange.
There was a time when the village of Imber was remote from all. But for some time, Imber, no longer remote, has been on the ‘phone, and the latest news is that “progress” is being made with the introduction of a small manual exchange at Imber, pending the development and provision of ‘County Satellite’ equipment specially designed to serve small rural communities. This is the official news from the Post Office.
