Abstract:
A site visit confirmed that extensive remains of the wireless station survived: concrete and tiled floors of buildings, bases of aerials, anchor points, trackways, were spread over five fields. Some features, such as settings for early aerial and large copper earth wires and mats, are likely to survive below ground. The archaeological remains of the Poldhu Wireless Station are important as an accessible, tangible memorial to the historic achievements that took place here; the development of long distance telegraphy, with far reaching implications for improving the scope and quality of global communications.[Au(abr)]
