Our number was Charmough 556 we had a two tone green phone on the wall. Back in Kent we were Borough Green 3333 which was useful especially as I ran a business there, but were still on a manual exchange.
My first job in London had the number City 1124, didn't need dialing code books as there weren't any dialing codes.

Talking about 'lack of codes' - any other lists as short as this one? It was for telephones on a temporary mobile exchange with 649 lines on it that was a 'relief exchange to the 'exhausted' vintage UAX7 'South Benfleet' exchange which had about 2500 lines on it. Thundersley was in use from September 1965 until September 1967 when the lines were moved onto the new larger South Benfleet non-Director exchange which had nearly 7000.lines by 1972!
