Lady Bolles Water Tower
Heath
It's now a 'conservation village', east of Wakefield (almost every house there is listed/'of interest')

A privately financed structure, dating to the early 1600's
It once pumped water, though pipework, to Old Heath Hall (demolished)
The remnants of the machinery remains in the bottom

Different dates for these two external images, hence the quality

And not too far away, this one was purported to supply water to Nostell Priory in the old estates form
In the second paragraph, a well-head at Ryhill is mentioned (dated 1505), this still exists but is on private land (Dame Bolles is accessible)

An unexpected find on the imaginatively named 'Water Tower Road' in East Carleton

And in the former RAF Wretham - now the Defence Infrastructure Organisation's Wretham Camp

On the opposite side of the road is a county marker

Yes, that's the one - on my way to Grafham Water, there's also a picture of the three counties stone on here somewhere too

That's a good distance for you then ?

Yes, about at the limit of my self-imposed maximum of 102 miles in a day , unless I start using the car, train or retire and can still ride a bike by then

Never noticed this thread before.

Here's the amazing Art Nouveau tower in Palic, Serbia.
