Comments: Luccombe is a relay of Hannington
   

This Hannington relay is situated near Luccombe Village, between Shanklin and Ventnor and seems to serve a coastal strip between those two towns. Many TV aerials in the lower lying areas of Shanklin, including the old village were pointing towards it.

The mast is located about a ¼mi along a private road opposite a house. The aerials are all log periodics, in photo 4 those pointing left are towards Shanklin, (north) and those to the right towards Luccombe Village and Chine.

The lower pair of horizontal logs are in about the right direction for Hannington, the upper pair could be looking at Rowridge, do any of the channels use Rowridge as a feed, my info may be out of date? [Not according to the BBC and Ofcom sites - mb]
