There's been a lot of protest around the siting of mobile phone masts and base stations - well here's a handy site to find the nearest to any UK locality with a postcode.

All in all, prime targets for getting torn down.
Maybe that'ss why the government has made sure that the helpful freedom of information type website above does not let you search for them by type, so you can only find them by chance.
If you do manage to find 'em by chance, post the details right here on good ol' indy, folks,

Sitefinder base station icons

a base station will appear at the lowest zoom
setting only.
Click on the blue triangle and details of all
base sataions will appear.
It looks like this has been done to make it
difficult to find all the base stations in a town
for instance, there should be a button allowing
base station icon hiding and display.
At the moment, to find base stations for
a larger area it is necessary to repeatedly zoom
in to each part of the larger area until the
blue triangles appear.
