Comments: Relay of Pontop Pike

The Fenham transmitter is sited on the edge of a covered reservoir at one of the highest points in Newcastle (about 125m above sea level), so it's not easy to get near it. 

Christopher Bell says: "My old Secondary School overlooks the mast but it's not the same mast from when I was there, the current one was erected in 1996."
