Nine panels of hand-painted ceramic  tiles which depict the various different apparatus used in telecommunications. The mural was situated on the facade of the BT Building (Former Post Office Building), Farringdon Road, London but was removed prior to its demolition and is now installed at the Barbican. Prior to their removal despite graffiti and bills on various other parts of the building, these panels had never been touched, showing the power of decent public art and the respect that it commands.

The murals were listed Grade II in 2011.
