Borough Hill mast viewed across a garden centre
Borough Hill is now a Country Park. It is the site of the well-known Daventry masts (11 of them) alongside the M1, which were originally long wave and short wave transmitters.
Arnold Frederic Wilkins demonstrated radar, from radio waves from the Borough Hill transmitter on 26 February 1935.
This one remaining mast is mainly used for Microwave communications, cell phone antennas and TETRA.
