EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Fading Icon - The BBC Television Centre, White City, London (September 2012) 2. Nestled in the heart of White City, London, the BBC Television Centre stands as a testament to the rich history of British broadcasting. Originally purpose-built in 1960, this iconic structure served as the headquarters for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Television. 3. The Television Centre, with its distinctive circular design and towering chimney, was a beacon for innovation and creativity in the realm of television production. For over five decades, it played host to numerous groundbreaking shows, including "Doctor Who," "Top of the Pops," and "Blue Peter." 4. As the world around it evolved, the Television Centre remained a constant, its red brick facade a familiar sight for generations of viewers. However, by September 2012, the writing was on the wall. The centre had formally closed its doors, and the looming prospect of redevelopment cast a shadow over its future. 5. In this aerial photograph, taken by Damian Grady for Historic England, the Television Centre stands alone, a symbol of a bygone era. The nearby W12 shopping centre and the Westfield London complex have grown up around it, dwarfing the once-mighty broadcasting hub. The circular studio floors, now empty, await their next chapter, while the chimney, a relic of the past, continues to tower above the landscape. 6. As the sun sets on the BBC Television Centre, the question remains: what will become of this iconic building? Will it be preserved and repurposed, or will it succumb to the relentless march of progress? Only time will tell. 7. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the BBC Television Centre's storied past and the role it played in shaping the British television landscape. It is a fading icon, a symbol of a time when the magic of television was created within its walls.
