well i never knew that. just said to the mrs as she's from there and she's the same. just street viewed parts and bloody hell. (not that i doubted you mind)There were no roof-top aerials in Peterlee when it was first built. Everyone had cable telly! There's still a few of the old boxes left if you look carefully. I had a cable running between mine and next doors' house when I lived in Granvile Road - couldn't figure out why, and then I realised it was for that.
Its funny, this topic has came up recently in Peterlee. By design there are no telegraph poles - all cables are under the ground in Peterlee.
But FTTP companies tried to bypass this cost by quietly installing their own poles a few months back. The people of Peterlee pushed back on them. Good, its pretty cool that there's no overhead cables all over the place here.
Did you read that?It’s operational again according to this article.

There are still some areas across the tees valley without TV/Radio coverage. The mast caught fire on August 11.
Bit shit for the older generation who won't know how to access online services etc.
Doubt they'll get a refund either.

Back to live in the North East and no picture since we got here a fortnight ago but the TV licence debit got taken out today. Sky argument looking more likely by the minute. Got some radio stations mind.
Sky it is then.![]()
