Work has started on a new thousand foot tall tower that will stand next to Emley Moor mast.

The new sister tower to the country’s tallest freestanding structure will transmit signals while changes are made to modernise the original structure.

The new mast will be as high as the Eiffel Tower and a dominant fixture of the county’s skyline for around four years.
