About: Holyhead transmitting station

An Entity of Type: architectural structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Holyhead transmitting station was a broadcast television facility located about 2.5 km to the west of Holyhead, on Anglesey, Wales. It had a self-supporting 30 m lattice mast erected on land that is itself about 76 m above sea level. The site was originally built by the BBC, entering service in early 1964 transmitting the now-defunct 405-line VHF television system. When UHF 625-line colour TV came to north Wales in the 1970s, the locality fell into the service area of the main transmitter at Llanddona or the relay at Arfon and so this site was not needed as a repeater.

  • The Holyhead transmitting station was a broadcast television facility located about 2.5 km to the west of Holyhead, on Anglesey, Wales. It had a self-supporting 30 m lattice mast erected on land that is itself about 76 m above sea level. The site was originally built by the BBC, entering service in early 1964 transmitting the now-defunct 405-line VHF television system. When UHF 625-line colour TV came to north Wales in the 1970s, the locality fell into the service area of the main transmitter at Llanddona or the relay at Arfon and so this site was not needed as a repeater. 405-line television from Holyhead was shut down in January 1984. The site appears to have been demolished subsequently. (en)
