2007 Update

The hallowed ground which once was BT Radio Station Highbridge - better known as Portishead Radio - has been flattened to the ground.

Plans for the site are understood to be for a new housing development to be named MULHOLLAND PARK - named after Portishead Radio's former station manager Don Mulholland and his father Robert, who also worked at the station.

The houses of Highbridge / Burnham on Sea, having slowly encroached on the station's once semi-rural location, look set to concrete over the historical site once and for all !
