I found this TP after a little bit of searching. My estimate from OS 1:50k sheet 15 took me to within 11m of it, but I did not see it immediatly. I was almost convinced that it had been removed when the Newtownbreda Housing Estate had been built, but perseverance paid off when I spotted it being held prisoner by sheep fence and brambles in the boundry hedge. Both the spider and the Flush Bracket have been hacked out with hammer and chisel and rebar sticks out of the top like broken teeth. The estate obscures 180? of the view but what is left is not at all bad. The first three pictures in the album show Divis ( aprox. NW) all the way to Kilroot Power Station (aprox NNW). The two famous cranes of Harland and Wolf can be seen in frames 2&3.
