Telephone exchanges in UK

[small]

Hey those of you over there; I'm trying to date a print/etching. or at least determine, "It has to be at least this old".

I can't make out the artist signature but there is a remnant of the framers tag. Has a tele number of "Museum 7588" I think, it's hard to make out. Research says you all were on numbers by the late 60's, and like here, the Name on the exchange was you neighborhood (more or less). I can't seem to find where about in England this would have been. Was there or is there a "museum" district?

A quick search reveals Museum telephone exchange was located in Howland Street, London, just south of Euston Road. The building housed a steel tower on the roof which carried television signals between London and Birmingham. The site is easy to find - the famous Post Office (now BT) Tower was constructed next door.

Not sure is you can make it out, it was actuall my best guess at the numbers. Around here the Name corresponded with the neighborhood. Any idea as to when the number would have changed over? I think the address dates the original owners to mid 1800's... Then there was something about Sotheby's buying them...

17&18 Nassau Street (Titian House) is off Mortimer Street.

Googling turns up a lot of references to art and frame restoration at that address.

EDIT - search 7588 on this site
