Tolsford Hill BT Tower, Communication tower in Lyminge, England.
The Tolsford Hill BT Tower rises 67.36 meters above the North Downs, constructed with reinforced concrete and positioned at strategic coordinates for signal transmission.
Built in 1959, the tower established crucial telephony circuits to France and supported television transmissions, later expanding with a concrete structure in 1970.
The tower represents British telecommunications advancement, connecting the United Kingdom to continental Europe through its cross-channel Eurovision broadcasting capabilities.
The facility maintains modern digital broadcasting infrastructure, including Digital Audio Broadcasting equipment installed in 2016 for regional signal distribution.
This tower differs from most British telecommunications structures due to its reinforced concrete construction method and cross-channel communication capabilities.
