These are two of many photograph albums in BT Archives' collection. The open album is from the National Telephone Company (NTC) and shows photos of the cable department staff. It dates from 1911, the year before the NTC was taken over by the Post Office. The Young People's Own Telephone Exhibition was an event held in 1932 and the album shows photos of the exhibits, as well as the then Post Master General surrounded by eager children trying out the phones.
