CANE HILL
| Photos by Rupert Fennymore | Page last updated: 2023-11-28 |
| The Cane Hill relay is situated on the water tower of the old Cane Hill mental asylum, which has been derelict since 1991. The Cane Hill asylum itself is an extensive site which often seems to be the destination of various urban exploration groups. The site has been subject to many vandalism and arson attacks over the years, which have been known to affect the power supply to the transmitter. These days the entire site is surrounded by a hostile looking fence and I believe there's manned security patrols. The Cane Hill UHF TV relay entered service in December 1981 to serve 3,400 people. Channel 4 was added on 7-Jun-1985. |
