The first sign used to hang in MFA (multi format area) of Post Production, where tapes and film would be transferred. I don’t know what the machine was that the sign was pointing out the dangers to, nor what the ‘liquid’ was, but I love the dramatic nature of it!
The second sign obviously was displayed on the BBC Birmingham Club, which was a separate single storey building over the brook from the main Pebble Mill block.
The sign may have been referring to the film processing equipment, which was run by Alan Barnby and John Brian.
It’s reassuring to know that these little bits of history were not consigned to landfill when the building was demolished – but live on to be enjoyed!
remember when the club was on the 2nd floor???
