There is a pinned thread right at the top with huge amounts of information for research - here is a short cut to the Master thread

Spun concrete is another one. Not sure if any exist in the UK though

Don't think they're used here. Austria, meanwhile, has plenty of spun concrete ones.
Looking abroad again, a lot of conventional lines in Germany tend to use lattice-type masts for most supports.
