Looks massive from our house and it's bloody miles away...Don't think it does anything now, but is a listed building ?

It is still in use.  At the moment there is a 2nd temporary mast next to it while it is being upgraded.

I stand corrected, and salute it for our daily dose of Harry Gration (or whatever it actually sends, I thought it was erected for the launch of Yorkshire TV in 1968 but I might be wrong on that as well...)

I think these might be the most exciting posts of the season so far.

Well, it was a 2 Yorkshiremen conversation to be fair. Consider yourself lucky it wasn't about holes in the road and tarpaulin...

No that would be a Brummie conversation, which will always begin; "The road's up ..."

I think it was earlier. There have been 3 masts, the 2nd collapsed in high winds due to ice build up on the supports. You can see it from all over, looks amazing from the YSP.
