EDITORS COMMENTS
Empire House, located at the corner of Kingsway and Aldwych in London, stands proudly with its imposing presence, showcased in this photograph taken circa 1919. The three interconnected buildings were initially home to the Air Ministry, which relocated here in 1919, marking a significant period of growth and development for the British military. The construction of Empire House was a remarkable feat of engineering and design, with its intricate details and grandeur reflecting the optimism and ambition of the post-World War I era. The scaffolding surrounding the building is a testament to the ongoing work and dedication required to complete such a monumental project. The Air Ministry remained at Empire House until 1954, after which the buildings were renamed Adastral House. The name change did not signify any commercial use, but rather a shift in the building's purpose. Empire House's history is intertwined with that of the evolving technological landscape of the time. In the early 1930s, the BBC set up a television studio in the building, marking the beginning of television broadcasting in the UK. Later, in the 1950s, the Rediffusion company took over the building, using it as a hub for their experimental television and radio services. Despite undergoing various transformations over the decades, Empire House continues to stand as a symbol of London's rich history and architectural heritage. Its enduring presence serves as a reminder of the city's past and its role in shaping the future of communication and technology.
