• New enough and long enough. AGF on offline refs for the hook fact - but the hook is supported by the other (online) refs anyway. Very nice article and particularly interesting to me since I grew up in the area and had never heard of the tower! All images properly licensed. Simon Burchell (talk) 23:11, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
