It's pronounced "tackle-stun"
and, situated a few miles outside Norwich, in Norfolk the site forms the
hub of television and radio services to East Anglia.
It's one of the few sites at which NGW are landlords to a Channel 5 transmitter, though this is very low power and barely serves Norwich at all! (Norwich Central has its own Norwich Central relay for Ch5). Major work was done in 2003 to replace the old UHF cylinder and spine with a new combined aerial system for analogue and DTT... |
In our first photo we see the original cylinder and the derrick being hoisted into place...
The derrick is now in place and the new spine and panels are being hoisted...
