Hello and Welcome to The Big Tower ! This site is all about broadcast transmitting stations in the United Kingdom, focusing primarily on the main television transmitter sites (both past and present) and those forming part of the high power VHF radio transmitter network. My aim is to provide technical and historical background on every transmitter site included, supported by images of the masts and site buildings that I have been gathering since 2001. I also hope to provide regular photographic updates of the work that is taking place over the next few years in connection with Digital Switchover. So why The Big Tower ? I thought I'd better answer this question in case anyone was wondering. Quite simply my interest in transmitters derives from a childhood fascination with what I referred to at the time as 'The Big Tower', the tower in question being the Emley Moor tower which I was lucky enough to live close to in my early years. Furthermore, I also wanted a name that would be easy to remember as well as broadly reflecting the fact this site deals principally with main transmitters. Having then considered several rather long names featuring 'transmitter' or 'mast', I felt this one best served the purpose. Screen Resolution This site has been designed principally for 1024 x 768 with some accommodation for 800 x 600, but it's definitely best suited to the former. Almost all images have been sized to fit the screen but depending on your settings you may need to use the F11 key to fully view portrait images (especially those in Supersize format), aerial close-up images and certain landscape enlargements. Please bear with me This site is still in the early stages of development. Some pages are more complete than others but whatever you see today will be improved upon or added to in due course. Feedback Your feedback on this site, both positive and negative, is welcomed so please feel free to email me with any comments. |
