LEWSEY FARM (LUTON MF)

| The Lewsey Farm station was built by the IBA for the Luton ILR service which launched on 15-Oct-1981 as Chiltern Radio on 828 kHz. At the time it was built, the site - near the M1 to the North of Luton - was virtually deserted, but since then it has been surrounded, on three sides at least, by a fully developed residential area. The BBC also use the site to transmit Three Counties Radio (formerly BBC Radio Bedfordshire) on 630kHz which launched on 24-Jun-1985. |
| Unusually, the site is not fenced off from the passing road. Instead the base of the mast and the stay anchors are each fenced off individually |
| The building in the foreground houses the actual transmitters and there is also evidence that it contains stand-by power generator as well. |
