About 150 Hello Girls and their colleagues, some from the Second World War era, met for a reunion.
The GPO (General Post Office) telephonists worked at Ashford’s former Tufton Street exchange between the war and its closure in 1988.
Also at the reunion, last Friday, at Ashford Town's Homelands football ground, were former telegram boys and telegraphists.
