Pontop Pike

Took this shot of the transmitter from the car window whilst my hubby was driving in County Durham. I also took several cute shots of lambs up on the moors. Whilst viewing back my photos I didn't particularly like any of the shots i had other than this one. Why, I don't know, as the others weren't bad at all.

Now for the history lesson:

The Pontop Pike transmitter provides UHF analogue and digital television transmissions to Tyne and Wear, County Durham, Tees Valley, most of Northumberland and parts of North Yorkshire.

It also carries the national BBC Radio FM signals, covering the whole North East England. It was one of the first national FM transmitters in December 1955.
