Trig point and WWII remains on Garway Hill

Uploader's Comments

In June 1941, three RAF men spent three weeks assessing whether Garway Hill was a suitable site for a radio transmitter, shortly after a brick structure with an octagonal wooden tower was constructed on top. The structure was 25 feet high with a conical roof through which an aerial/transmitter protruded. Eight wooden stanchions reaching down over the wall supported the tower, each stanchion was anchored in concrete, these can still be seen today. The brick wall is 7 feet high and 14 inches thick.
