If we don't save our old buildings this might be the only way to see them, coz they sure don't build them like this anymore. :P
Pictured, the first anniversary newsletter of the European Exchange System, 1949.
The EES operated Army PXs throughout Europe from 1943 until merging management responsibilities with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service in 1972 to create what is today one of the country's largest retailers.
At the time of this newsletter, the EES was based in Nurnberg, Germany, in the same building where the trials of Nazi leaders were held shortly after World War II.
At the time, EES oversaw stores in Munich, Frankfurt, Nurnberg, Berlin, Heidelberg, Austria, Bremerhaven, Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, Wetzlar, Ausburg, Wursburg, Paris and Garmisch.
The EES received financial assistance from the Army & Air Force Exchange Service, based then in New York City, but EES leaders managed their organization.
Today, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service still operates major stores throughout Germany and other European countries. The headquarters is in Sembach, Germany, where managers also oversee operations of stores in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and elsewhere in Southwest Asia and the Middle East.
Hastings manual telephone exchange the evening before it closed on April 24th 1974 to give Hastings a dialling service.
It was the largest manual left in Britain. A Swedish Crossbar exchange took over.
This was the Directory Enquiry section, no computer screens, all paper telephone books.

As Class 55 Deltic 55019 'Royal Highland Fusilier' enters Arley Station with a southbound train a crew member exchanges line tokens with the signalman. This gives the train authority to pass along the next section of the Severn Valley Railway's single line to Bewdley. The train standing alongside is the 12.51pm northbound train hauled by D1015 'Western Champion'.
Thanks go to fellow Flickrer Peter Edin who very helpfully 'removed' a cable which marred this shot.

The Royal Exchange in the City of London was founded in 1565 by Sir Thomas Gresham to act as a centre of commerce for the city. This building was designed by Sir William Tite, and was opened by Queen Victoria on 28 October 1844, though trading did not commence until 1 January 1845. The Royal Exchange ceased to act as a centre of commerce in 1939, although it was for a few years in the 1980s, home to the London International Financial Futures Exchange, LIFFE. It is now a luxurious shopping centre.

The inside of Leeds Corn Exchange building...
Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, a young Hull architect best known for Leeds Town Hall, this Grade I listed structure was completed in 1862 and opened on 28 July 1863.
Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three Corn Exchanges in the country which still operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
In 1985, Speciality Shops plc won the contract to re-develop the building as a shopping centre. The refurbishment process designed by Alsop & Lyall was completely restored to its current state, with new staircases to allow shoppers access to the balcony and basement levels. It opened for trade in 1990. Many other old buildings have been restored in this area, now known as The Exchange Quarter.

Pictured, the interior and products sold at the Exchange, Augsburg, Germany, c1953.
The U.S. Army military community at Augsburg was a Cold War installation that closed, along with its Exchange, in 1998.
The installation opened in 1946 when hundreds of family members of U.S. Soldiers moved to there during the post-World War II occupation era.
The installation's exchange, laundry and dry cleaning plants, and other services were operated by the European Exchange System (EES).
EES operated exchanges throughout the continent from 1943 to 1972, the year it merged with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service.
In the post-World War II era, hundreds and thousands of American troops and their families moved to Germany to help the country rebuild.
U.S. military installations -- each one with an exchange -- sprang up around the country and continued during the Cold War to thwart Soviet aggression.
Many of the installations and exchanges closed in the late 1990s.
Today, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service operates major stores at Ramstein AB, Grafenwoehr, Wiesbaden and other locations throughout Germany.
Ramstein's store is the Army & Air Force Exchange Services' largest in the world.

The Royal Exchange in London was founded in the 16th century by the merchant Thomas Gresham on the suggestion of his factor Richard Clough to act as a centre of commerce for the City of London.
The site was provided by the City of London Corporation and the Worshipful Company of Mercers, who still jointly own the freehold.
It is trapezoidal in shape and is flanked by Cornhill and Threadneedle Street, which converge at Bank junction in the heart of the City.
The design was inspired by a bourse (exchange) Gresham had seen in Antwerp, and was Britain's first specialist commercial building.
It has twice been destroyed by fire and subsequently rebuilt. The present building was designed by William Tite in the 1840s. The site was notably occupied by the Lloyd's insurance market for nearly 150 years.
Today the Royal Exchange contains offices, luxury shops and restaurants.
Manchester's Second City Crossing has opened in part, the initial stage being a spur from Victoria to Exchange Square. Passengers will welcome the warmth of the tram on this sleety Saturday evening.

Pictured, the base exchange, Ramey AFB, Puerto Rico, early 1970s.
The first post exchanges in Puerto Rico opened in 1941. At least 43 exchanges on Puerto Rico operated at the height of the war. At the time, Puerto Rico was the largest base of operations the United States had on the Caribbean rim.
Exchanges also were located in Cuba, Jamaica, Aruba, Curacao and Trinidad.
Once known as Borinquen Army Airfield, Ramey AFB was located in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Ramey remained a Cold War-era base until the mid-1970s when the installation -- and its exchange -- began to close. Today, the U.S. Coast Guard operates at the installation.
The Army & Air Force Exchange Service operates major stores at Puerto Rico's Fort Buchanan and Camp Santiago.

Pictured, the Berlin Military Post shopping center, Truman Hall, 1948.
In the period that followed World War II, post exchanges opened throughout Germany to serve thousands of American GIs and their families moving to the area to help the country rebuild. In addition, Cold War military installations opened throughout Germany to deter Soviet aggression.
All of them had post exchanges, exchange-operated restaurants and other stores.
Food trucks from the Berlin Exchange brought sandwiches and drinks to the tarmacs to serve American pilots engaging in the Berlin Airlift, 1948-1949.
Truman Hall opened in 1946, a modern and well-equipped exchange that provided a dining room for people and a cafeteria.
The hall was the first new building constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the American sector of post-World War II Berlin.
In the early 1950s, Americans modernized the building and expanded it into a shopping center. At its heart stood the post exchange.
The building was named after U.S. President Harry Truman. Ironically, President Truman was a military PX officer at a World War I camp in Oklahoma.
Undertreaties that enabled reunification of Germany, all non-German military forces were required to leave Berlin by 1994. The Berlin post exchange then closed.
Today, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service still operates major stores throughout Germany, including Wiesbaden, Ramstein AB, Grafenwoehr, and elsewhere.
Pictured, post exchange, Ingrandes, France, 1953.
Throughout the later years of
World War II, hundreds of post exchanges operated in France. In 1944, the Army Exchange Service (AES) moved its European headquarters from London to Paris as the number of PXs grew substantially in that portion of the continent.
In addition, AES also operated breweries, bakeries, and soft-drink bottling plants in France and Belgium to bring tastes of home to homesick American GIs.
The U.S. Army opened the Ingrandes Quartermaster Depot in 1952 for military equipment, spare parts and maintenance. An enlarged PX in the picture opened in 1953.
Ingrandes was one of several U.S. Army depots operating in France in the early 1950s. The Army closed the depot in the early 1960s.
From 1951 to 1966, the U.S. Air force deployed thousands of personnel and hundreds of combat aircraft to France to counter the buildup of the Soviets Eastern Europe. Base exchanges operated at those U.S. installations. The installations were turned back to France, beginning in 1967.
