Demolition at Seven’s Epping studios

Demolition has begun this week at Channel Seven’s former home at Epping.

“Using Gladiator props as wrecking balls?” they asked.

ATN7 opened in 1956 at Mobbs Lane, Epping, and later expanded with five studios for shows including The Mavis Brampton Show, Seven News, Kingswood Country, Rafferty’s Rules, Wheel of Fortune, Sons and Daughters, A Country Practice, Hey Dad!, Sunrise, 11AM, All Saints, Home and Away and Packed to the Rafters.

The studios closed earlier this year when new facilities opened at Australian Technology Park in Redfern.

The site is set to become a housing development.

    There goes part of my childhood. Fond memories of Miss Patricia, Mr. Do-Bee and all my new friends having fun at play on the Romper Room set.
