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One of the sites for the short-lived 'Aces High' military radio network of the cold war period, superseded by satellite systems.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.

NATO "Ace High" station, Coldblow Lane, Friningham
In May 1983. For information on this defunct military communications network, see http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/features/ace_high/index4.html
The large dishes communicated with the continent by tropospheric scatter. The mast-mounted small dishes are SHF and communicated with Dunkirk (which is west of Canterbury).

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.

If you go down to the woods today...
