Last August, I made a big deal about the retirement of the Master FM Antenna that had been on the Empire State Building since 1965.
In Let It Be, at the start of the rooftop concert there’s a shot of a far more imposing mid-1960’s broadcasting structure. The British Telecom Tower.
After sixty years, the BT Tower still looks quite futuristic. I first saw it during a business trip to London about thirty years ago. I’m surprised it isn’t a more widely recognized landmark. The tower is now owned by an American investment group that plans to convert it into a hotel.
