BBC ETD Wood Norton
This is the former accommodation of the BBC Engineering Training Department at Wood Norton. The accommodation was sold off some years ago by the BBC to a conference company who subsequently ceased trading. The main hall was also sold, but this is still trading as a hotel. I like many other BBC trainee engineers spent about ten months here, spread over three years. The training was superb and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The BBC still trains staff here but on a very much reduced scale. It is sad to see the site in such decay. There were plans to turn the accommodation blocks into an old peoples home, but I think that is on hold or has fallen through.
