Rediffusion Thanet  was the first  wired subscriber system in the South East Region.  The branch had   29,000  wired vision subscribers by 1975.  At this time the ( South East ) region was experimenting with 'Teletext', providing a selection of decoded pages on the BBC2 channel during times of the day when no scheduled programming was broadcast. The region was also pioneering 'Fibre Optic' cable achieving transmission distances of up to one mile.

I am looking for information on the Thanet Branch.  Did you work there ?   
Do you have any old pictures,  information on the Wired System,  Staff etc.
