Control Room

It really would be a shame to let that go. It's actual practical design excellence is shown by its length of service but the wonderful aesthetic excellence was certainly not a necessary feature. I presume it has 'listed' status?

Number one Pschlute is the photo, controlling tower for the rebellious No 6 (Patrick McGoohan)

Not only great images, but the design is awesome. So 'clean' isn't it? Thanks for sharing, Peter.

Good pictures of what appears to be a fascinating bit of industrial history. So much more character than a room full of computerised glass surfaces. A fine reminder of a time when industrial design meant hardware rather than what appears on a screen.

If you want us to believe that, you will need proof of identity. Please provide one item with photographic ID, a utility bill in your name and issued in the last 6 months, correspondence from a government department with your name and current address... etc. etc. etc.

An interesting historical location, looking still in good condition, and well-displayed in your set of photos, Peter.

Good stuff, well taken photos of some very fine and reliable equipment, I would trust this gear over the new computer controlled stuff, can't be hacked either.

Excellent point.

Excellent set Peter - especially like the first image, it really does exude "control".

I often fiddle about with the crop of others images - and I did this with that first image, if you crop it to remove all the air vents you have a very different look. I'm not saying better, just different

Your original is a much better creative image (using the ceiling vents with the bright white surrounds adds an interesting dimension) - the crop simply focuses the technical and control elements (and changes the image format) - as I said, not a better shot but different

Interesting. The clock looks bigger in the cropped image, although logically it isn't.
