Text below is from the website of the Western Approaches Museum. A must see if you're visiting the city. The photograph is of the vital telephone switchboards the staff used in WW2. 'On 7 February 1941, Combined Operations moved to Derby House at Exchange Flags because German aircraft and U-boats were attacking ships travelling in from the continent. The department became known as Western Approaches Command... The primary aim of Western Approaches Command was ‘the safe and timely arrival of the convoys’ and it worked tirelessly against the threat from German U-boats, aircraft and surface warships as well as the harsh sea and weather conditions of the North Atlantic, to achieve that'
