Tetney Beam Station woods
On the Tetney straight, in an area known as Bishopthorpe, is a modified brick building and makeshift industrial estate marking the site of the Marconi Beam station. This square wood (viewed from the Tetney recycling site at the crossroads) is the site of one of the masts.
The invention of the wireless beam system revolutionised overseas communication and made possible the use of telegraphic communication as an everyday necessity rather than a luxury.
Hence the Tetney Station has an important place in the history of international communication.
There were eight masts and various buildings. The three masts on the Grimsby side of the buildings carried the Australian aerials and were 275 feet tall.
The five masts on the Tetney side carried the Indian traffic and were 285 feet tall.
The masts were supported by stays which were anchored in concrete blocks 14 feet deep. The 3 square woods alongside the Tetney straight mark the sites of the masts - the concrete is still there, so the land cannot be worked. This is the southernmost wood. The middle wood is seen in Image
