New terminal tower at Wellow

[caldridge]

Following the removal of the PL16 route to Midsomer Norton from the junction tower on Westwood Road between Bradford on Avon and Trowbridge I've found out that a new terminal tower has been put up at White Ox Mead, near Wellow, Somerset.

First here's the line on Broadway Lane, near Paulton heading from the junction tower on the A362 between Midsomer Norton and Farrington Gurney.

Then here they are on Paulto' Hill.

A PL16 suspension tower.

And here's the terminal tower, looks like it might be an L4.

There used to be a PL16 deviation tower in that spot and the route used to head past the village of Wellow then cross the B3110 near Norton St. Philip and then connect to the junction tower on Westwood Road, the deviation tower did also connect to that pole on the right.

Enjoy!
