Summary[edit]

Description
English: Stonesby PSD (petroleum storage depot), near to Stonesby, Leicestershire, Great Britain.

This PSD is shared with Arqiva although the sign on the gate still said it was an NTL site. Arqiva, formerly the broadcast division of NTL Group and now operating independently, has been a leader in the transmission industry for over 50 years. Over 22 million UK homes receive ITV, Channel 4 and five via Arqiva�s national transmitter networks and there is a telecommunications mast in the north east corner of the site, clearly visible on Google Earth. There are also several workshops on the west of the site, with old NTL signage. The telecommunications mast has since been removed.

As for the other operator on this site, the mysterious equipment in the centre of the photograph is for filling road tankers. If you look at Google Earth you can see three large circles shadowed on the ground in the open space beyond which have some sort of associated valve or pump system. These are mounds that cover fuel storage tanks, part of the Government Pipelines and Storage System. (Information provided by Adam Brookes � thank you!)

The bank beyond is the edge of the old Bescaby landfill site and the Mowbray Way Long Distance Footpath runs along the top of the bank.
