A bit of History on this place for those who dont know
Opened in 1969 for the all new colour purpose built studios for ATV. This lasted up until 1982 when the IBA (Todays OFCOM) granted ATV a new license for the midlands but with major changes. One of them was a name change and it became Central. Central stayed there until 1997 when they moved over the road to Gas Street.
Mainly stripped now and used last year by the BBC for the programme Survivors it stands awaiting demolition. But due to recession its never happened.
Onto the pictures anyway
