Moorside Edge transmitting station

Moorside Edge transmitting station, opened in 1931, was originally constructed to radiate the BBC's North Regional (from 17 May on 626 kHz) and National Programmes (from 12 July on 995 kHz). It is – at 400 kW – one of the most powerful mediumwave radio transmitters in Britain. Formed of two 158-metre-high steel lattice towers, it is located just above Moorside Edge (grid reference SE070154). Other nearby transmitting stations are Holme Moss (11.56 km, bearing 168.17°) and Emley Moor (15.4 km, bearing 99.41°).

As with most mediumwave transmitters, a good "signal earth" is important and this is assured by the waterlogged nature of the ground on which it is built. The site's location on the Pennine Hills means that signals from Moorside Edge can be received at very long distances: as far north as Scotland, as far south as the Midlands, as far west as Dublin, and well beyond the country's eastern (North Sea) coast.

The station is now owned and operated by Arqiva and broadcasts the following services:

Route A62 (Grande-Bretagne)

L'A62 est une importante route du nord de l'Angleterre qui relie les villes de Manchester et Leeds. La route fait environ 65 km de long. De Manchester, où elle commence sous le nom de Oldham Street et de Oldham Road, elle s'étend vers le nord-est pour traverser Failsworth et Oldham puis Saddleworth, avant de traverser les Pennines à Standedge dans le Yorkshire de l'Ouest. Se poursuivant dans Marsden, Slaithwaite, Linthwaite, Huddersfield, Liversedge et Birstall, elle se termine non loin du centre ville de Leeds, à sa jonction avec l'A58. Elle est parallèle sur une partie de son tracé avec la M62. Cette dernière doit son nom à l'A62 et accueille aujourd'hui une bonne partie du trafic entre Manchester et Leeds.
