Sefton Lane is just off Southtown Road in Great Yarmouth, an area of mixed residential, light industrial, retail and dockside use.
The RFS antenna (with a mean Tx height of 51.58 metres) on its 3-metre tower extension had been present for some considerable time before these photos were taken. Some antennas appear to have been removed from the top of the tower to make room for the extension and UHF TV antenna.
The approved planning application 06/09/0003/F (which refers to a 'mast' rather than a tower at this site) lists a log periodic antenna at 26 metres and a 75cm dish at 7.5 metres. When I visited there was no sign of such a dish, nor a log at that height... but there was a broadcast-quality log lower down mounted off one leg of the tower, directed at Tacolneston
The signage has changed slightly, but no new cabins have appeared (and there's little room in the compound for any)
Editor's note: this new relay should cover the small area previously served by a self-help installation on Southgates Road |
