Computer generated in 1956 ???
Guessing it was for a holiday home going on the fact the subscriber was from Somersert- Whitstable is still full of those!!
I don't know if it will let you see this in the US.........£30 was more than 2x the average weekly wage at the time!!

Peter Cushing lived in Whitstable until his death, maybe he had the huge bill?
There is still a small Cushing museum there...

At least the Telephone Manager had an easy phone number to remember.......BT still have an exchange in the same place(Canterbury has 2 ).......
The Atlanta telephone number of the regional manager for Tenneco convenience stores (gasoline + cigarettes + junk food) (dépanneur) was an easy one: 451-2345.
It was a "terminating line"---not the usual "OPX"--- on a 557B cord switchboard at a telephone answering bureau where I once worked the graveyard shift. (Yeah, I got paid to sleep.) OPXs are off premise extensions where the customer line was multipled to both his place of business as well as the TAB. (You could answer but not call out on these "secretarial line" appearances on the 557B.) Terminating lines connected only to the answering bureau switchboard.
One guy used to call 451-2345 every time they would empty the dumpster at the Tenneco right behind his apartment at 2:00 in the morning. He would demand to speak to the Tenneco manager. I never could convince him that the manager wouldn't be able to answer his call.
