I live in Leeds. We had British Relay until the late seventies I think. When the Emley Moor transmitter fell down, we were the only house in the street that still had any TV. I think Relay had a tie in with Visionhire as we always rented our TV there.
I was a showroom. Manager in eltham London up to 1972. What a great company to work for
Does anyone know if there was ever a model car made of there vehicles? Apparently the blue was patented and called, ‘British Relay Blue’? Please contact me at davehughesmp@gmail.com
Started working at Trafalgar Radio & TV Greenwich London in 1963 then taken over by British Relay then Visionhire then Granada TV untill I left in 1998 So many happy times. Michael J Mooore
This is a good write up of the British Relay service in Whitehaven, along with some other observations about the TV rental trade in the town.

I’m curious about the backroom aspects of British Relay. Was it coax they deployed to feed houses? What was the length limit?
