That was the BBC that was!
This site was the BBC Outside Broadcast vehicle depot. BBC Outside Broadcasts has been sold, see http://www.bbcresources.com/ob/index.html. Now the building has been reduced to a pile of rubble.

A large site running from here along Kendal Road has been redeveloped with warehouse buildings. The former buildings housed the BBC Outside Broadcast depot. When these were demolished the hardcore was left on site - see
Image - and used in the foundations of the new buildings.
