Former Daily Telegraph Building, 135-141 Fleet Street
Not the Daily Telegraph anymore, but always will be to me. My Dad used to work here and took me there regularly as a kid to see the printing presses running.
The first of the American-style newspaper palaces in the street, it was designed for the new owners in 1928. The upper floor of the 'Neo-Graeco-Egyptian' building incorporated a director's penthouse suite. The Telegraph building was the most prominent in Fleet Street until it was upstaged by the black glass Daily Express building in 1932. The building was given a Grade II listing in 1983. The presses stopped here in 1988 when the papers printing presses relocated to West Ferry Printers on the Isle of Dogs.
