These pylons (or towers as they are known as in the electricity transmission industry) form an electrical bridge over Ashworth Lane at Hattersley and across the site earmarked for a new Tesco superstore before marching on towards Harrop Edge.
A source I'm unable to name told me that this line was due for renewal in 2011 and opined that if a supermarket was to built here then their route would need to be realigned.
A wider view of these pylons can be seen on Geograph.
A closer view of the top of a pylon can be seen on Hyde DP Xtra.

Superstores... First time I've seen an electrical bridge here and it's a very good idea.
Interesting idea:)
Have a nice Sunday!
Creative thinking!
Reminded me much of home, wide country sight, sound on these electrical lines during rain ... A peaceful Sunday for you.

What a clever bridge. I never thought of these towers this way, but they are certainly bridges in every sense of the word. Great post.
It´s very interesting :)
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great Sunday

I never thought of them that way! Very clever!
we have quite a few too. Some people say they cause cancer. What do you think?
This makes interesting reading... I wonder which route the 'towers' will take when moved?
