The Final Days of BBC Broadcasting House, Cardiff

Tour of Broadcast House a couple of weeks before closing for good and when most departments had already moved to Central Square. Showing C2 Studio Block, C1 Studio, newsroom, “edit corridor”, crew room, canteen, TV Pres and various walkways and corridors. Mostly places I was involved in so mainly TV areas. I worked here from 2014 to 2020 in News Operations before moving to Central Square and whilst this is nowhere near as long as some of my colleagues, I felt the need to document the place as seen seen through my eyes. Working there was frustrating at times, battling ageing technology, making the most of limited resources and walking miles between departments. But, the place did have a buzz about it and contained a lot of history and part of that history is my history.

The pic at the end is the first picture I took of the building, just after stepping off the bus and arriving for my interview in July 2014.
