Belmont transmitter
The Belmont transmitter is a transmitter facility at Donington on Bain near Market Rasen and Louth in Lincolnshire ( Great Britain ) for broadcasting television and radio programs in the VHF range.
The transmitter mast, built in 1965 in the Lincolnshire Wolds, was originally 385 m high, making it the tallest structure in Great Britain and the entire EU. After it was cut in April 2010, it is only 351.7 m high, making it the second tallest structure in the United Kingdom and the 14th tallest in the EU. The guyed mast is used to supply parts of Lincolnshire, the northern areas of Nottinghamshire , North West Norfolk , Hull and East Yorkshire with VHF radio programs as well as analog and digital television programs.
It is named after the Belmont House residence .
