The ILEA had its own schools broadcasting service, the Educational Television Service, based in the former Tennyson Secondary School, Thackeray Road, SW8.[2] The television centre had two functional television studios, a training studio, a master control and sound and vision mixing suites.[3] At one stage this was believed to be the largest closed circuit television system in the world. The first transmission took place on 16 September 1969 and the Television Service ran until 1977.[4] When the Post Office, whose cabling was used for the distribution, wanted to withdraw from its contract in the late 1970s, the programming was transferred to VHS tapes[5] and the CCTV network closed down.[6]
