Events

Philip recently paid a visit to this Museum, and with the aid of photos taken on that visit, will take us through the displays and exhibits, from the discovery of electricity and Morse code to fibre optics and advanced technology of today.

150 years ago, the first international telegraph cable was brought ashore at Porthcurno, connecting Britain to India and later other parts of the British Empire. Porthcurno Telegraph Station, or PK as it became known in telegraphic code, became the most important station in the world in the late Victorian era. By the start of World War II, Porthcurno was a critical hub for allied communications with 14 cables coming ashore, carrying some 70% of all communications. Telegraph operation ceased at Porthcuno in 1970, but by 1988 the first undersea optical fibre systems arrived in Cornwall and operations resumed in the Porthcurno area.
