TELEGRAPH HILL SOCIETY

We are a group of residents and non-residents who work to protect the historical features of the Telegraph Hill conservation area and ensure all residents enjoy a good quality of life here... An illustration of the Telegraph Hill semaphore station ( from an early engraving) which was established in 1795 and was the third in line from the Admiralty. The messages went from there to St George's in the Fields, then Telegraph Hill, then Shooter's Hill and on to Deal and Dover. A second route, established later, went down to Portsmouth via One Tree Hill.
