Holme Moss (Ch2.V) was the transmitter for my native Stockton-on-Tees before the Coronation. The 'X' aerials were few and far between, and were a sign of the 'early adopter' even into the '60s. The last one I can remember was on Dixon's farmhouse in Chapel Rd., Billingham which disappeared in the early '80s, along with the last 'torch' School sign, just outside.
I always look for them in my travels south of the border, where they were once plentiful. I'd put one up, just for fun, if I could find a decent one.
