ATV Centre, Alpha Tower - A Glimpse into Birmingham's Television Legacy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the bustling streets of 1970s Birmingham with this print of ATV Centre, Alpha Tower. This Grade II listed building stands tall and proud as a testament to the city's rich television history. Originally designed as the headquarters for Associated Television (ATV), this architectural gem played a pivotal role in shaping the entertainment landscape of West Midlands. As part of ATV Centre, it served as a vibrant production studio complex where countless iconic TV shows were brought to life. Captured by renowned photographer George Marsh circa 1975, this image showcases the exterior beauty of Alpha Tower against a backdrop of rooftops that stretch towards the horizon. Its sleek lines and modernist design make it an unmistakable landmark within Birmingham's skyline. While ATV ceased its operations in 1982, Alpha Tower continued to evolve and adapt. Today, it has transformed into a hub for various offices and businesses while still retaining its historical charm. This remarkable print not only captures an era but also pays homage to the pioneers who shaped British television. It serves as a reminder that even buildings can hold stories worth preserving – stories that continue to inspire generations long after their original purpose has faded away.
