As a Newbie, I am always browsing online for good information that can help me. thank you for sharing
I was a Scout that took part in the Pebble Mill at One programme for one of the Scouting anniversaries. I stood on the front lawn whilst the programme makers concentrated on all of the old uniforms and it seemed that our aim of shown a modern organisation was undermined by the 'dib-dib' and big hat ideas of the producers.
Later on in life I was friends with an engineer at the Mill and sometimes made contact with Radio Amateurs who worked at the building.
What do you think about Japan?

I worked as a presenter for Radio WM between 1989 and 1990. I'd also been let loose in telly a bit too. Pebble Mill was undoubtedly a unique place to work. In such a vast building, it was rare for you to walk down the corridor or visit the canteen and not bump into someone you know for a quick chat. Of course it was the people who made it and whilst it no longer stands, it's the memories we all have that are important. They can't take those away from us but it's thanks to great sites like this that enable us all to keep those memories alive. Thanks Vanessa.

Hi...really nice to see this site.
My dad worked at Pebble Mill in the mid-80's, on the 5th floor I think where the Asian programmes were produced (Asian Magazine as far as I remember). As kids me and my sister would visit during half term, sat in galleries, wandered the corridoors a bit. I'm now at the BBC myself and would love to hear from anyone who might have worked with my dad or knew of him in those days(he's since passed away). His name was Yousuf Aziz, he would have been a producer at the Asian Unit...
Thanks! x

I rellay appreciate free, succinct, reliable data like this.
I came to Pebblemill Feb 1988 for two weeks work experience, and stayed for about 4 year - well, kind of left in 1989, but to work as assistant editor to Mike Duxbury, working on docs. Worked on the best docs - The Bollywood Story, the best thing I ever worked on with the lovely Paul Sen, Black Britain, Who Put The Black In The Union Jack, to name but a few; and returning to the fold for another couple of years working in drama - including the infamous Witchcraft.
They were great years, I loved working there, the cutting room corridor was always great, the crush bar brilliant - looked through Studio A once to see three sets of the whitest teeth I had ever seen in my life on the stage. It was the Bee Gees....
And so I do hope you might slip my name into the role call, it was a memorable time and I'd like to be registered as having been a part of it.
My first ever visit to Pebble Mill Studios was on Thursday July 29th 1971 with my band Katch 22, we recorded a 'Jimmy Young Radio Show' in the studio for later broadcasting.
Later on as an Equity member I worked there as an actor / walk on, numerous times on many Period Dramas, Sit-Coms, and childrens programmes. Some years later I worked out of the studios on the transport side, driving production vehicles, motorhomes etc, which I still do to this day.
It was a sad day when it was closed down, and disappointing that we only now have a much scaled down operation of the BBC in Englands Second City.
