Andy: Located not too far SE of the Macclesfield transmitter, this one was the devil's own job to find. Careful, slow driving back and forth along Ridge Hill finally revealed the wooden pole with the aerials in the corner of a field opposite the driveway to Ridge Hall. The aerials seem to be illuminating the village of Langley in the valley opposite.
Rob: Second time lucky. As Andy says it's a sod to find. I wandered down a footpath and took some shots of the mast. Some are a little over-dark. I tried to get lighter ones, but the lighting wasn't the best. Logs for Rx and Tx, covers the small village of Langley hidden behind a hill.
Langley was originally a BBC landlord site which entered service on 23-Feb-1979 to serve about 550 people. Channel 4 was added on 23-Oct-1987. |
