Second photo shows the bottom ladder removed.
Third photo shows vandalised gate on access track.

Eric v/d Neut supplied this photo in Dec 2021, believed to be taken in the late 1970s. There is no cat-walk and the windows are different,
so at some time, the tower must have had a cabin replacement/upgrade.
If you can add any more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Earlier reports (Dec 2021) told us that the tower had been removed but on the 23rd February 2023 we received these 2 photos.
They were taken and supplied by 'Flick' on that day. Here is a link to some YouTube vision of that day.
