At the gallery there is the first transatlantic telegraph cable which connected Europe and North America, the broadcast equipment behind the BBC’s first radio programme in 1922, and Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s NeXT computer, which hosted the first website.
This gallery is aimed to showcase Britain’s contribution to the tech industry, it included a number of British companies including BT and the chip designer ARM Holdings.
