What is recorded here
Radio Tower stands in the Vale of White Horse as a castle-like tower, not a temporary mast. It belongs to the old human habit of building height because distance, memory and warning all need elevation. The facts do not say when it was built or who climbed it, but the shape suggests pride, watchfulness and the desire to be seen across the land.
