After having dug to a depth of 10 ft last year, Manchester scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years. They came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago. Not to be outdone by the Mancs, in the weeks that followed, a Birmingham archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 ft and, shortly after, a story in the Times read: Birmingham archaeologist, finding a 200 year old copper wire, has concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the Mancs. One week later a local newspaper in Beacon Heath reported the following: After digging as deep as 30 ft, in his meadow near Shallow Adit, Roy Thompson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. He has, therefore, concluded that 300 years ago, Beacon Heath had already gone wireless.
