Also, most SH poles have been removed due to not being fit for the purpose

Consider also that sailing ships used masts of far greater height (up to 80
feet or more) without being unduly prone to wind damage. A reclaimed pole of
the height required by the OP would probably be very satisfactory in all but
the most extreme wind conditions and any other structure (suitable for a
domestic environment) would be no more secure in such conditions.

And some poles have been replaced simply because they were not tall
enough. BT moved to a higher 'standard heaight' a while ago after a
fatality due to cales being caught by a vehicle.
