Emley Moor Mast Huddersfield, Kirklees West Yorkshire
Emley Moor Mast Huddersfield, Kirklees West Yorkshire
I think pretty much everyone in West Yorkshire knows the iconic structure that is Emley Moor Mast. It’s visible for miles, I can even see it from my Rawdon Studio (if I go on my tip toes) and for a lot of people spotting this tower on the horizon is a symbol of being nearly home. Another subject I love and do like revisit but I really wanted to look at the mast a lot more close-up than in previous prints which depicted it in the landscape around it, and really try to show the scale of this massive grade II listed concrete monster of a TV transmitter. It even takes 7 minutes in the lift to get to reach the tower toom! Can you tell I love it?
Located in Kirklees, outside Huddersfield, this is the tallest free standing structure in the UK at 319m and stands 20m taller than the shard (that’s got to be one of my favourite facts) this is even though it’s height was reduced by 11m with the recent works but the recent works reduced that shortened the antenna
This particular view is from near the Three Acres Inn pub and I just love the contrast of the mast to the deep blue of the sky which just feels vast.
