EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the iconic BBC Television Centre, nestled in the heart of White City, London. Built with a specific purpose in mind, this architectural marvel served as the headquarters for BBC Television since its completion in 1960. However, as time marched on and technology evolved, this historic landmark bid farewell to its broadcasting days in 2013. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in September 2012, this image immortalizes the grandeur and significance of the television industry's past. The sprawling complex is showcased from an elevated perspective, revealing its impressive scale and meticulous design. From this vantage point, one can truly appreciate the magnitude of creativity that once emanated from within these walls. Now standing silent and awaiting redevelopment plans, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an era gone by. It encapsulates not only the physical structure but also carries with it a sense of nostalgia for countless hours spent watching beloved programs broadcasted from within these very walls. As we gaze upon this print captured by Damian Grady through his lens at Historic England, we are transported back to a time when television was king – where families gathered around screens to share laughter and tears alike. This image invites us to reflect on our shared cultural heritage while eagerly anticipating what lies ahead for this cherished site.
