Yeah, I'm looking for the codes for the exchanges *outside* of the Liverpool area which were still classed as local; but this still makes for interesting reading (I've always had an interest in this kind of thing, which is probably unusual for someone of my age (29), but never mind!) so many thanks for sharing the info!



It would seem that 0151-427 numbers are on the "Cressington Park" exchange today, yet 427 is also the correct letter-to-number mapping for GARston, so was it actually the exchange code that changed as well as the exchange name, or just the name itself?

(I've found a list of the Liverpool director exchanges and changes at http://www.rhaworth.myby.co.uk/phreak/tenp_0x1.htm but I've already spotted a couple of errors on there and this has now added to the mystery - e.g. CREssington Park changed from 273 to 422 according to that page, yet 0151-422 numbers are now listed on the Widnes exchange!)

Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on eBay for any old Liverpool dialling code bookets or directories that might help out but haven't found anything yet

Any more information gladly received!

Thanks again,

Nath.
