ILEA TV studios

[ppppenguin]

PS: I'm writing all this from memory; distant memory. So if you have better/other information please say.

There was also a well equipped educational studio, possibly also ILEA, at Laycock Street near Highbury and Islington Station. I never worked there but did help to strip it out c1980. This wasn't easy as I had an injured knee at the time and could barely walk. So I was mainly supervising while others did the heavy lifting.

There were 3 EMI 2004 monochrome plumbicon cameras which we used at my old school studio for a number of years. (Wiliam Ellis School, Highgate Road). We flogged them for a nominal amount at one of the BATC rallies, probably around 1990. I think these cameras have recently re-surfaced on ebay.

The address was Thackeray Road,less than hlaf a mile from Ingate Place so not too bad a guess from memory.
