In the late 1990's there used to be a UK web site run by pylon enthusiasts that featured a regular "Pylon of the month" photo, with archived previous photos. They usually had captions on the lines of "Standing magnificently on the ridge of Pontop Pike, plylon No. XXyyy looks out on... etc". It used a latin name that translated as pylon enthusiasts, but I haven't been able to find it for some years. I think it may have been run by members of the IEE Power section.

The top of the only surviving WWII "Chain Home" radar transmitter antenna pylon that was moved from Canewdon to the Marconi research labs at Baddow, can still be seen poking above the horizon after the Chelmsford exit when heading north up the A12. I understand that, no doubt due to lack of maintenance, it is now considered unsafe to climb to the very top, but I think the lower platforms are still being used to support microwave antennas.
