Here are a few pics I snapped today of a sub-station in the nearby town of Hoveton. This enclosure has two sets of 33kV feeders entering from the left, and transforms down to 11kV for distribution around the town. The 11kV outputs are mostly fed underground to nearby poles and to ground-level 11kV-to-240/415V xfmr stations.

Sorry I couldn't get any closer for greater detail.





Notice the insulator stack set at an odd angle on the incoming 33kV lines to get the phases in the right positions. This is the last pole at the enclosure before the lines drop down to the switchgear:
