BT Tower, Telecommunications tower in Birmingham, England
The BT Tower stands at 140 meters tall with 31 floors, featuring a cylindrical shape and numerous satellite dishes across its structure.
Constructed between 1963 and 1965, the building initially operated as the Post Office Tower before becoming an essential telecommunications center for the region.
The tower represents Birmingham's modernization period of the 1960s, marking the transition from traditional architecture to contemporary urban development.
Located near Birmingham's central business district, the structure maintains its function as a communications hub while remaining closed to public access.
A pair of peregrine falcons resides on the tower, with their activities monitored through a webcam system installed in 2010.
