Cross Rhythms City Radio started transmitting from here in October 2021 extending coverage to Newcastle-under-Lyme, which lies on the other side of a ridge from their 101.8 transmitter at Woodhead Farm. They both complement each other well in an otherwise hilly area, and I've received 96.6 down to Sandon on the A51. Ofcom name this site 'Hanchurch - Duke Lodge', but the house is definitely known as 'Dukes Lodge'.

Dukes Lodge. The transmitter is behind and to the right of the house.

This looks to be pointing towards Cross Rhythms' studios in Hanley.

All of the cables seem to go into the brown cabinet.

This 4 element band II Yagi seems to be pointing towards Cross Rhythms other site at Woodhead Farm and I guess is used as an RBS?
