The Droitwich Transmitting Station celebrated its 90th birthday in September 2024. The Station was open during Heritage Open Days on 14th and 15th September 2024. This fascinating history has been published by John F Phillips. We hope to ask a speaker to visit Pershore in the near future to tell us more about the feature on our horizon.
