Haringey Council propose to unbrick the arches that form the outer wall of the 1936 BBC TV Studios at Alexandra Palace thereby practically eradicating all of the historical authenticity of the Studios.
We call on Haringey Council (as Trustee of Alexandra Palace) and the HLF to preserve all of the internal and external historical features of the original Studios.
Without the actual bricks and mortar any chance of a World Heritage application would be scuppered.
The BBC Studios are effectively the birthplace of television as we know it, the first regular broadcasting in the world, and the home of the Baird and Marconi Studios.
