LOTS ROAD

The Lots Road site at TQ264770 was not an
easy one to photograph - there was no mast or tower, just a wire aerial
strung between the chimneys of London
Transport's power station in Chelsea.
The first broadcast services to be transmitted from this site were the Independent Local Radio stations LBC and Capital Radio on 417m (719kHz) and 539m (557kHz) respectively. These stations were broadcast from here for 18 months or so until the IBA completed the permanent site at Saffron Green near Barnet, Herts. The Radio 4 transmitter on 720 kHz at Lots Road was finally switched off on Tuesday 25th September at 10:45am. London is still served on 720 kHz by a sloping wire attached to the side of the Crystal Palace mast. |
