Pylons around Frome

[caldridge]

Here's some pictures I took of the pylons around Frome, Somerset.

An L2 pylon made to look like a telephone mast on Clink Road.

PL16 pylons heading through a housing estate.

L2 pylons on the A3098 just outside Frome.

Here's a little one. Ever seen an L2 like this?

It might be this size because it's on a hill. See the others peaking over?

The pylons on the route to Rodden Farm.

Down in the valley.

These two look a bit close together.

The L2 & PL16 pylons on the A361. These were taken from a flyover.

The PL16 line ends in Frome, the route continues with one more PL16 suspension tower until ending at a substation on Hillside Drive.

While the L2 line heads off up the A361.

The L2 pylons cross the A362. See the little one on the hill.

Here's the two that are close together.

The line heads to Hinkley Point. The route code is ZG.

Enjoy!

Nice set Christopher. I like the small sized L2 towers, even shorter than my namesake YV47R, which in itself is the bog standard size of basic tower I think. It used to be a big tall one with quite a large height extension added, not just sure how much but since the previous 3 towers in the same line are original height I'm guessing it is something like an E50 or E60 if that exsists.

Thanks for the confirmation of the line code ZG I'd like to compile a list of all the NGC line codes if possible so all observations are welcome. Going to look at Penwortham substation tomorrow so that will bag me some new line codes ;D
