Entrance to North London Business Park

The park was once the Standard Telephones and Cables factory, in which one of my neighbours used to work. With the move away from electro-mechanical telecommunications equipment and loss of business following the privatisation of British Telecom, STC lost its way and was taken over by Nortel. A sad end to an innovative company that pioneered the use of optical fibre for telecommunications. The factory here had been rundown and closed by the end of the 1980's.
