Ah the end of another era.

The long wave transmitter station at Wychbold has such a significant history. As a newly recruited BBC trainee I was sent to the Engineering Training dept at Evesham and a course there often involved a trip to Wychbold, which wasn’t too far away, to study the transmitters.

We marvelled at the enormous valve bottles that powered the masts. There were also four (if I recall correctly) ships engines there (English Electric I think) that had been redeployed as back up generators in case of power failure.
