Sorry, not a water tower, but what the hell, it’s a big old tower on a back road between Helidon and Byfield.

Mappleton water tower on the way to Hornsea yesterday, always fascinated me as a kid and now at 35 years old have finally seen it up close

Happened across this thread while looking for something else, as you do...
MBIFOAWT at Weston, Herts. About six miles away from DoctorTowers, and half a mile from the Cricketers, which was my destination that evening

OK, once again no bikes or water towers but a bit of a power station update. I've been checking out some maps and cooling tower layouts and it looks like there's been a mix up, what I thought was Drax power station in fact isn't. So...
This is the view from the top of the hill looking east. I think this is in fact West Burton power station in Nottinghamshire.
That means that the structure on the horizon here, taken from the same spot in roughly the same direction is possibly Lincoln cathedral, although I can't be sure.
Just up the road and looking north you get two sets of cooling towers on the horizon. So I think the set on the right of the photo is Drax and the one on the left is Ferrybridge.
If that's the case then I think the Humber bridge would be to the right of shot, and apparently it's also possible to see York Minster. I need to get out with some binoculars, or at least a decent camera rather than just my phone. Still, that's about a 30 mile radius confirmed with the naked eye over about 90°, which is pretty mad.

MBIFOA barely visible WT at Aston End.
And later on at Pin Green, probably the highest bit of Stevenage.
