@mattblaze Oh wait they might be visible on Google Maps satellite view if you zoom in all the way. It looks like the four horns are still there but not pointing in cardinal directions.

@stuartmarks Yep. That's a pretty typical installation, once commonplace across the country. The only reason any survive is that the horns are so bulky and heavy that removing them is often expensive and dangerous.

@[email protected] @[email protected] They had to remove the horns from the microwave tower in the centre of London because they'd become dangerous, doesn't look quite the same now https://tx.mb21.co.uk/gallery/gallerypage.php?txid=1424&pageid=1000
