On day one of Past Squares I mentioned that I was planning to share previous theme squares that either hadn’t had much attention over the years or had had lots of attention. This one, of a telegram room in Porto, had lots of attention as it hosted a gallery. It first appeared in January 2020 when we were enjoying words containing the word light. I thought I’d share it again as I rather like it.

  3. I have heard stories from my parents about how much integral a telegram was back in their childhood, when my grandparents and great grandparents relied heavily on it for sending and receiving messages to relatives and friends faraway. There’s a certain charm attached to it, if you know what I mean.
    In this digital age, that charm is either long gone or rapidly diminishing away every passing day.

    1. My parents had them for their wedding day, such a lovely way to commemorate occasions. I still have a few of the ones they received, and others my grandparents received over the year. Wonderful and, as you say, charming things to have

        1. Big grrr – when i visited Porto a few years after i took this shot, i went on the tour again. I was with a friend and knew she’d love the palace, and part of me was hoping I might have more time – but oh know that tour guide whisked us round even faster 😦
