Photographic Survey (12 March 2007)
RCAHMS undertook a detailed photographic survey of Broadcasting House in March 2007 following notification that the BBC were to be relocating to new premises at Glasgow's Pacific Quay on the banks of the Clyde. The buildings by Rochead Honeyman & Keppie (and possibly Mackintosh) as well as the later additions, including all the main studios and offices for both radio and television, were surveyed in detail.
