EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the moment when the General Post Offices television and radio telephony tower started to take shape in Bloomsbury, West Central London. It is a remarkable sight to behold as it stands tall amidst the city skyline, showcasing its impressive height of 477 ft. However, this towering structure is far from complete; it is expected to reach an astonishing height of 619 ft upon its completion in 1965. The lower section of the tower, encased in glass, will serve as a home for the post office aerial equipment. But what truly sets this landmark apart is its crowning glory - a restaurant and viewing platform that will offer breathtaking panoramic views of London's bustling streets below. As we gaze at this image frozen in time on September 15th, 1963, we can't help but marvel at the engineering prowess required to construct such an iconic communication hub. This tower represents progress and innovation in telecommunications during the vibrant era of the sixties. While still under construction, it already commands attention with its sheer size and grandeur. The General Post Office Tower promises to become an enduring symbol not only for British Telecom but also for London itself - a testament to human ingenuity reaching new heights both literally and metaphorically.
