Area code history
Harris’s original area code was 0046. This lasted until 1968 when the code was changed to 0859, as part of a nationwide plan to free up numbers starting 00 for other purposes.
The 0859 code eventually became 01859, following a renumbering programme that took place across the UK during April 1995.
