1. Title: "BBC Broadcasting House under Construction: A Glimpse into the Past of Langham Place, London, in November 1930" This photograph captures the progress of BBC Broadcasting House under construction in Langham Place, London, during the late 1930s. The image, taken circa November 1930, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past as the iconic building takes shape against the backdrop of a bustling city. The photograph showcases the intricate details of the construction site, with scaffolding and hoardings surrounding the building's skeletal frame.
