The 'doughnut' on the concrete tower is at the 870' level (historically, this platform housed equipment such as Outside Broadcast link reception and rebroadcast standby receiver racks).
If memory serves, the Band III and UHF cylinders go up to 1084' and are accessed via a ceiling trapdoor in the platform roof. The internal lift goes as far as the OB room but it's a vertical ladder the rest of the way. No doubt Martin c/o Arqiva can correct any errors in my recollection/give us an up-to-date report ... ?
Best wishes
