Great photo Simon. Reception must've been a struggle in parts of Bath with the size of the aerials there. I remember seeing a double BIII horizontally polarised aerial around the Lower Bristol Road area in the '80s, suggesting even the relay struggled in some parts.

I could receive North Hessary Tor in Chippenham, though reception was weak on the ch5 "X" Wenvoe aerial.

Cheers,
Brian
