Re: Identify Vintage Radio Building
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. Chris |

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

Re: Identify Vintage Radio Building
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. - Kurt |

Re: Identify Vintage Radio Building
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.
