From the south. The other tower visible (to the left) belongs to Spectrasite Transco and is based in a Severn Trent reservoir enclosure. SST's tower handles emergency services comms (or that's what
I've always been told). This too is visible from town.

Again from the south, a little more north along the Roman road. Note the microwave dish quite near the top. I'm certain that points to the Wrekin
|
A general view from the SE. The Beacon Ring is clearly visible behind the site.
Note the aerial on the roof of the control room nearest the centre of the picture. That also points in the
general direction of the Wrekin. Perhaps the engineers prefer watching Central?

The view from approach road
|
A close up from further up the approach road. Note the microwave dish. At
the bottom of the pic can be seen the FM dipoles, one pointing SW - down the Severn Valley - and the
other NW - covering Welshpool.
|
From the gate to the site, the Wrekin can be seen 23 miles away. Sutton Coldfield is some way off in the distance,
to the right of the Wrekin, and a long way the other side of the Ironbridge Gorge. |
