Repairs are currently being undertaken at Emley Moor transmitting station near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, and there is a temporary mast alongside the 1971 concrete construction.
This is the tallest freestanding structure in the UK (1,084ft). Also a Grade II listed building.
The antennas broadcast digital radio and TV across the North of England – reaching Hull, Leeds, Sheffield and York, and even Manchester, across the Pennines.
It takes 7 minutes in the lift to get to the top – I hope to take that ride one day.

I love this. The perspective is great and really plays up the height.
Thank you, Claudia. Hope all is well in your world
All good here (the outstanding event of my summer was a miserable poison ivy experience which was all my own fault but still – I don’t reccommend it at all). Having got that over with, things look good going into the fall. Glad to see your work again and I hope you are doing well, too.
Poison Ivy! Ugh, that sounds nasty… Glad to hear you survived it, Claudia. I’m OK, thanks, keeping busy. Take care in the woods.
