Transmission masts at Glebe Farm, Ousden
As seen from the edge of Littly Wood. The three masts stand in close proximity to each other at one of the highest spots in Suffolk (~120 metres). Their use is not known and there are no signs which would explain what purpose they serve.

Transmission masts at Glebe Farm, Ousden
As seen from the edge of Littly Wood, with a large shed at Glebe Farm in the foreground. The three masts stand in close proximity to each other at one of the highest spots in Suffolk (~120 metres).
The tower in the background, on the left, is the Wickhambrook tower, part of a former microwave link for BBC and ITV, built about 1968. It has been used for DAB transmission since 2004. (Source: James Farrar - many thanks.) For more information read http://www.dgsys.co.uk/btmicrowave/sites/175.php.

Pipeline route north of Back Street
The information plate on the post by the road gives details of the pipeline, but a dead give-away that this was part of the government GPSS system is the white object in the far hedgerow. This is a white stile-like structure much used to mark the pipeline routes. This route was laid in to supply East Anglian air force bases with fuel. For a detail of the marker plate see
Image, and for a closer view of a 'stile' see
Image, although they are more usually concrete.
