Gulliver,

If the boom is indeed pointing E-W then I'm puzzled !

BTW: I reckon the aerial is a dipole-reflector H design, so the direction the aerial is pointing to will be along the boom, with the dipole downlead junction box nearest to the transmitter. Hence you can work out whether the aerial is pointing East or West. Should it be East then Manningtree on channel B4 would be the only possibility; but I would have thought co-channel interference with Sutton Coldfield would have been a serious problem.
