Construction at Flimwell seems to have started by 1967 according to BT Archives however the first antenna is shown as being installed in November 1969. The structure is a "standard tower" incorporating platforms for horn antennas however we have no information to confirm whether any were installed.
The site is now used for local linking and by mobile phone operators. Due to the location there seem to be few "current" photographs of this site.

Showing the installation of the first dish. The tower has platforms to support horn antennas at the top and on the side of the widest section.

This view seems to be from the south - the dishes face Tolsford Hill (right) and Fairseat (behind the tower).

By 2009 the large dishes had been cleared and from a distance the tower looks to be empty.
