I suppose it could be, there is a door intercom, but there are also ethernet points all over the house too, with no apparent connection to anything. There are all manner of legacy electric bits in various places; I'd love to be able to get hold of whoever did the wiring to work out what's what.Door control and intercom?
Plus 1 for the telephone box, looks like the system in a factory I used to work inWas or is your 'house' a block of flats?
The R/H box looks to be a Telephone cross connection point bit with the multiple cables going both ways is a little weird. Certainly not a LAN or WAN distribution - that would be cables with 4 pairs together.
The big black box inside the grey case is a TV distribution point.
No, it was once upon a time Newcastle Council offices, but it was gutted in around 2010, back to the brickwork and re-done as “executive” housing.Was or is your 'house' a block of flats?

Was the whole building converted to one "house"? or are there mutiple residential units in what used to be one large office building?No, it was once upon a time Newcastle Council offices, but it was gutted in around 2010, back to the brickwork and re-done as “executive” housing.
It was a terraced street of houses that had been used as offices.Was the whole building converted to one "house"? or are there mutiple residential units in what used to be one large office building?
If the latter, then I strongly suspect that box is a telephone distribution point for the building. You can see one big cable with it's pairs spread accross the top of the connection block, while there are lots of cables with their blue (first) pairs connected to the bottom of the block.
Still one house? If not then you definitely need some help to see if anything is still live. Although you could try measuring the voltage with a multimeter on each pair - should be about 50v if any thing is live.It was a terraced street of houses that had been used as offices.
I think this is one to get an expert in for; whether it’s phones or some bizarre Ethernet setup I need to get the Ethernet sockets working.
