Signal mast and razor wire Looking almost straight into the sun from TL185104 at the signal mast on the road coming east out of Sandridge.
No normal phone mast this; the thing's ringed with two layers of razor wire fence and has a sign at the entrance with a royal coat of arms on it. Photo notes: for better results take photo in morning, not afternoon like I did - the mast's partially obscured by trees from the west, so better to be east of it with the sun behind you.
