Re: Rediffusion Building (1st Generation)
Hi there,
I believe this is their first location. There is a Wiki entry in Chinese saying Rediffusion started off locally at 22nd March 1949. In 27th May 1959 they moved to Rediffusion House in 77-79 Gloucester Road, which is the address of present day Fortis Bank Tower.
Best Regards,

Re: Rediffusion Building (1st Generation)
Hi there,
A bit more update. This site become the Asian House in the 1960's. A check on some property agent's site revealed Asian House was completed in 1969. I guess I would be safe to say the Redffusion building was demolished a few years earlier than that, say, 1966?
Best Regards,

It seems the Cable & Wireless Ltd from the below view (on top of the tram) was in the same building of the Rediffusion. Welcome comments.

Agreed, it looks as though C&W had a telegram office there.
