These two photographs show the small room behind the Agents Office. Whilst we can not be certain, the 'waxed' paper and battery terminals suggest that this was used for the storage of the batteries used to power the telegraph. The power output of batteries at the time was very low, so they needed a lot of them, possible 100. They would have looked like mason jars filled with acid and a cathode and anode.
