Pylons PRA 6 and PYB 7

The pylon on the right, PYB 7, is unusual in that the conductors terminate here, and are grounded by straps across the insulators. This route from Three Bridges Main substation is consequently dead. This is believed to be because its former continuation has been used further south by a newer route (PJC) to Smallfield substation that completely bypasses Three Bridges. These pylons stand in a fair sized area of land owned (according to rather old signs) by National Grid. Perhaps there was a plan or at least a provision to have a substation here, for which it would be useful to retain route PYB to this point.
