Currently the offices of Clapham &amp; Collinge solicitors, the building was the regional headquarters of BBC East in the city from 1956 until 2003. This is a photo of listed building number 1051385.
context_page_description: Roundabout East Anglia was a BBC radio programme providing news and current affairs coverage for the East Anglia region of England during the 1970s. It was broadcast on the area's VHF frequency of BBC Radio 4 as a regional opt-out from the flagship Today programme, from 6.45am to 8.45am each morning.
  The programme covered the same geographical area as the BBC's television news programme Look East. It was also broadcast from the same building as Look East, BBC East's regional headquarters at All Saint's Green in Norwich. Presenters who worked on Roundabout East Anglia included Ellis Hill, John Mountford, and Christopher Trace. In addition to the news items there was also lighter, more features-based content such as advice from gardening experts.
  Roundabout East Anglia came to an end in mid-1980. This was due both to BBC budgetary cutbacks in regional broadcasting, and because dedicated BBC Local Radio services were being introduced to the area, with BBC Radio Norfolk launching in September 1980. Several Roundabout East Anglia personnel transferred to working for Radio Norfolk when that service began, with John Mountford becoming the station's first breakfast show presenter.
