BT TOWER IN London, also called the Post office tower. Taken from Great Portland Street. This photo has now been added to the fourth edition of our Schmap London Guide.
so this is the deal : on my first weekend with the photo club in Les Ardennes, Belgium, one of the members grabbed and held this up in the sky so we could capture it with suitable light;
it really looks like a satellite to me, don't you agree ?
To be read in conjunction with the previous image.
Two years further on and with the sale of BRT (British Rail Telecoms) immanent to Racall Electronic Plc as part of UK rail privatisation 20 215 and 072 are seen sandwiched between 20 032 and 20 007. They have moved from the MOD loco depot sidings at Kineton into MOD Burton Dassett Yard on the same site. Taken out of BR traffic in 1991 (20 072) and 1992 (20 007, 032, 215) the years of open storage have taken their toll and bleached out the paintwork. A few days later on 02/08/95 all four were moved to ABB Ltd, Crewe Works ahead of the sale of BRT to Racall Electronics Plc. Sadly this didn't see the locos overhauled after the sale and instead they languished at Crewe Works until July 1997 when they were offered for sale by BRT-Racall and all four went to DRS (Direct Rail Services).
They moved from Crewe Works to RFS Industries Ltd at Doncaster for overhaul assessment but like their BRT era ownership DRS did nothing with them as their traction policy was moving to obtain more type 3 and type 4 diesels for intermodal traffic. In August 2002 no.20 007 was sold into private ownership while the remaining three 20 032, 072 & 215 were moved by road in October 2002 for further safe storage at MOD Smalmstown in Cumbria. By this stage they were largely seen as potential parts donors for the DRS active fleet.
Ici, l'entreprise prestataire qui est en bout de chaîne et qui donc ne prend pas juste une commission au passage mais n'a pas d'autre alternative que de faire réaliser le travail réellement, demande a un ouvrier seul (courageux et que j'ai vu ne pas ménager sa peine) de sortir un poteau télécoms cassé avec des outils archaïques et à n'en pas douter un salaire misérable et une considération inexistante.
Bienvenue dans la France du profit à tous les étages sauf au rez-de-chaussée!
Pour un système plus juste, il faudrait faire comme Edouard Leclerc en son temps : supprimer les intermédiaires qui se servent sans rien apporter de plus.
NB : Ici le sol est argileux, donc dur comme du béton quand il est sec. Ce qui était le cas ce jour là.
Former BT Office in College Street. It was closed during COVID and never reopened. Canon FD 28mm f/2.8
Former First Leeds X84 brand 37672 now resides at Huddersfield. Seen here negotiating the tight country lanes round Oldfield on route 308. You can just make out in the distance (through the mass of telephone and internet lines) Emley Moor Transmitter Mast - the tallest freestanding structure in the UK.
While talking to The 'H' Man yesterday, the conversation turned to this pair of Enviro 300s - not surprising, really as he now owns one ! I thought I would document their history in pictures here.
This is the only shot I managed to get of one in service, departing with its next load of visitors to the Goonhilly Earth Station near Helston, Cornwall. They were used on this work for 5 years, being sold off when the centre was being prepared for privatisation.
A 1982 Bedford mini van in British Telecom yellow, although the DVLA have this down as a blue van..... at 1256cc, the engine isn't the nippiest out there.
AKA Telstra Tower , Black Mountain Tower
Architect: unknown (1980)
Location: Black Mountain, Canberra, ACT, Australia
The Telecom Christmas tree at Auckland Viaduct. (No it's not really leaning, that's the wide angle distortion....)
For people overseas who may not be aware, there was a slight hiccup when this tree was being set up... see the video here.
Merry Christmas everyone!

TELECOM
Ubicado sobre una parcela de 6000 metros cuadrados en el Extremo Norte de Puerto Madero, este edificio es obra de los Estudios de Arquitectura Kohn Pedersen Fox (New York, EE.UU.) y Hampton Rivoira y Asociados (Buenos Aires, ARG.).
El solar ha sido dividido en tres zonas: la primera es un Area de Uso público que es utilizada como plaza, la segunda es un Area que es construible hasta los 15 metros (la altura de los depósitos de ladrillo existentes) y la tercera, donde se erigió la Torre, permite construcciones de hasta 120 metros de altura.
Esta obra, construida en el dique 4, sirve como remate norte del Puerto Madero.
El edificio ha sido concebido como si estuviera compuesto de dos volúmenes principales edificados: el primero es un volumen simple rectangular cuya fachada es de vidrio y metal; el segundo es una pantalla vidriada que ha sido rotada sobre la línea diagonal del inmueble. Esta pantalla dirige la entrada al Puerto hacia el norte y provee un dinámico contrapunto con el otro volumen.
DÁRSENA NORTE
Es un cuadrilátero irregular que se inauguró en 1897, en medio de denuncias polémicas por la ineficacia del sistema adoptado. En un principio tuvo depósitos en sus muelles sur, este y oeste, actualmente sólo queda un depósito sobre el muelle sur, que pertenece a la Empresa Buquebus y en otro extremo se encuentra el Antiguo Edificio del Yacht Club Argentino, del Arquitecto Le Monnier.
Hau‘ula, O‘ahu.
Can you hear me now? I came across this pretty pink toy cell phone with plastic xmas-tree antennae one day. I placed it on this stone cairn - one that someone had built.
