Plenty of water towers, just not in hillier areas 😄

The GLW who is a Dundee lass was initially puzzled by the many water towers in East Anglia when she moved down to Norwich in 1993 to study at the UEA.
'Cos up in Scotland, they don't need 'em - !

Sunday 9th

This afternoon, we drove past the Water-Tower, between Flockton & Midgely, near the entrance to HMP New Hall, whilst 'out & about' (x 14)

It's been converted into a dwelling, with a glass lower-floor!!!

Sadly traffic precluded a stop, I will try to return though!

The upper storeys look to be completed!!
The access (a lift??) still looks to be under construction

It's on the A637

There is a video of it on FB, but I'm not sure of the uploaders settings, to allow people to see it
You may/may not see it;

A Diss double for you - on the left is the old one which has been converted for residential use leaving just the walls of the tank, on the right is the modern replacement.

This was our water tower in Haderslev, Denmark for the 2022 TDF. It was right on the TDF route.
