Hi there,

I believe this is their first location.  There is a Wiki entry in Chinese saying Rediffusion started off locally at 22nd March 1949.  In 27th May 1959 they moved to Rediffusion House in 77-79 Gloucester Road, which is the address of present day Fortis Bank Tower.

Best Regards,

Hi there,

A bit more update.  This site become the Asian House in the 1960's.  A check on some property agent's site revealed Asian House was completed in 1969.  I guess I would be safe to say the Redffusion building was demolished a few years earlier than that, say, 1966?

Best Regards,

T
