With the BT offices on the right (known as Telephone House when my father worked there in the 1950's and 60's). See the Harpur Street side of the building Image During the 1960's the newer part of the building was being constructed with a tower crane. The crane was being extended or altered, when it collapsed onto the roof at the top of the picture, just above the room where my father worked. Fortunately it was Sunday, so the offices were empty. The road was closed for a few days while they cleared up the mess.
