Re: Every Telephone Pole Resembled The Mess Associated With Wire Frames

Round these 1890's parts they are running fibre to the top of the telegraph poles with a view, I assume, to fibre along the existing wires to the houses.

The black boxes atop each pole appear to be a small fibre distribution/patch box about the size of a cereal box.

The fibre cables go back to the nearest cabinet. It also look like they have added a few more poles and the fibre goes from one to the other along the street.

All seems quite sensible, no digging required.
