Game: Name that road!

[Dogtrousers]

A couple of clues in my answers to Guys list suggestion.

I don't know what the name of the mast is, but it's a good bet it's on that list.

The mast is called what I thought it might be, I can't see it on that list, it's a communications mast, not TV or radio, so odds are it's not on that list.

Possibly gambling related.

I thought I'd found it at the Wrekin, topography and mast looked promising on the map, but it wasn't.

That's a great map website, I didn't know there were so many transmitter masts in the country.

...

Some of them are incredibly underwhelming... eg, this one in Nelson for Pendle Community Radio:

Possibly gambling related.

William hill

William Hill radio mast near Great Hucklow in Derbyshire

The road itself does seem to be nameless, but a bit later on merges with Sir William Hill Road

Kind of belongs to @MontyVeda really. But he can't have it.

Excellent, good deduction skills. "Possibly gambling related." How did you guess that.

 

[Dogtrousers]

OK, here we go. Name that road.

Nice one. Over to you.

By the way, my clue was to have been "You might find one who over-indulges on this road" (A binger Lane)"

Well done @Dogtrousers, although @Ming the Merciless was very close and after his post I expected it to go quickly, I am glad the clues worked out.

"William Hill Radio Mast" took me straight here:

Don't cycle on the right-hand "road"

I thought canal towpaths were quite popular places to cycle

Ha ha, it was the mast I thought it was, but I only had a cursory glance at roads before other stuff got in the way! I’d looked one road away before going off to do stuff. No idea it was called William Hill transmitter.
