Disused radio station
One of the sites for the short-lived 'Aces High' military radio network of the cold war period, superseded by satellite systems. The only visible remains of this are the far partly derelict buildings. The near tower pre-dated this period, the far one post-dated it (and may still be operational). The Aces High system had two further towers and several dishes, all now dismantled. Some of the remaining buildings now are now put to civil uses, but apparently not on Sundays.

In May 1983.

The mast-mounted small dishes are SHF and communicated with Dunkirk (which is west of Canterbury). For the site in 2005, see Image

Wireless Transmitting Station
On top of the North Downs near Coldblow Farm this place consists of several derelict buildings. The concrete posts no longer carry barbed wire but presumably the two masts still do something. Much more information, and an earlier photo Image

If you go down to the woods today...
