Holme Moss

After a couple of months managing school building assets, I am now in the process of changing teams and will soon be dealing with museums and community buildings.

Today I made a visit to the school at Holme which is one of the last outposts of the district. This is the view from one of the classroom windows. It's hard to imagine there was snow on the top of those Pennine hills a couple of weeks back.

The Holme Moss transmitter, provides the main broadcast for BBC National/Local FM radio and also national DAB radio across the North of England and was originally the site of the first television transmitter in the region.

It is located on a remote area of the Pennines, ten miles south of Huddersfield and just north of the West Yorkshire border with Derbyshire's Peak District.

With a ground height of 524m (1719ft), the station is the highest elevated main transmission site in the UK.
