Did you have access to the roof?
I know that the TV aerials serving the Piccadilly Hotel were on the roof of Sunley House, and there is a veritable farm of aerials up there today, including a local DAB station.

About the same time there was a radar head (weather?) on top of the CIS building, (The tallest point in the city until 2006), you could just about see it rotating from ground level.

That's spooky, Mr Google does not seem to know about this radar, I'm sure I didn't imagine it!
