Wirral
Ofcom's Table of Digital Stations version 6 has this relay replaced with 'Sunningdale', at the same power and height. This is the name of another building nearby, on Chapelhill Road CH46 9RG.
Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council were notified in May 2010 that the building carrying the Bidston relay was to be demolished: DEM/10/00628 at Wirral Metropolitan Borough Council Planning Pages

Briantist: Reviewing the older documents, as the NGR in v5 doesn't match this grid reference, the grid reference, height and power were altered in version 5 of the document; only the name was changed in v6 (and the NGR was slightly altered).
New height is 55.3m, 4.8m higher than before, and the new power level is 30W, up from 25W.
