I can remember when Essex Radio went on air, and at the age of 11 being excited at the thought of a local radio station with the transmitter just down the road. I never got as close as I did when I took these pictures, though.

The site is located at the far end of Rayleigh East water treatment works, presumably using the water as a ground plane.

If you have any photos of UK broadcast transmitter sites please get in touch.
Your contribution will be greatly appreciated.
