The Chaigley relay provides improved television reception to this rural area of Lancashire. Longridge Fell to the north shadows the area from Winter Hill and makes direct reception difficult. Originally an NTL landlord site which entered service in the mid 1990's.

The transmitter is situated in quite staggeringly dense woodland beside a minor road on the outskirts of Bashall Eaves. If any sort of fault was to occur at the upper part of the mast the engineers would surely need to come prepared with chainsaws and machetes to gain access.

This site is now included in the Update List for the following reason: DSO: VSAT dish and new enclosure Please let us know if you think there is another reason photos should be updated. To do so, click here.
