  	"The earliest mention I can find of other telephone subscribers in Reet h was in the 1921 directory, which lists only Barclays Bank (Reeth 2) a d the police station (Reeth 3). By then there would have been a small t elephone ex-change (a switchboard) almost certainly in the post office. M argaret Ward, sub-postmistress, was listed in the directory as Reeth 1. T he 1922 directory lists Reeth exchange as offering a telephone service o ly between 8am and 8pm Monday to Saturday and between 8.30am and 10 am o Sundays. And then only when Margaret wasn't busy serving in the shop, p esumably!" Quoting John Cranston from an article in the Friends of Swa ledale Newsletter #14 Autumn 2012.
