Both combined BI & III are by Antiference, dipole - director designs.

If as said (and the sun shadow in the second pic rather confirms this), the aerials are pointing south then Medlesham/Tacolneston would fit the direction. However as Brigham says it's an awfully long path - and at that distance I would have expected separates: a 4 element Band I and double 8 for Band III. The only other H-pol, Band I Tx in that rough direction was Peterborough on channel B5.

I wonder what the H-pol UHF transmitter is for the UHF aerials in the pictures? They all seem to be 10 el designs, so hardly fringe reception.
