Default Identify Vintage Radio Building

Hello all Vintage Radio

With very many thanks to you,

The cars look Italian (LHD, Alfa, Fiat etc) so this might be a bit of a long shot on here.......

We do have a few Italian regulars, though.

Looks like the "computer centre" -Turin traffic lights control from the 1967 movie "The Italian Job"

You have very sharp eyes. The cars are Italian but the building is in England.

Thank you for you post. Your powers of observation are good. This is the role the building plays in these frames.

However, the building was in England.

The clue is in this thread:

Thanks to you Darren.

Do you remember the exact location in relation to the confluence of roads at that junction.

Firstly: Was it on the South side looking North toward the Junction or the North side ?

The whole area seems to have been destroyed to enable road enlargement.

Many thanks to you.

Doh! I ought to have known that, seeing I worked there many times.

It was on the South side of Heath Road, on the corner of Heath Gardens.

Opposite the Lion pub, where they did excellent meals.
