Full Description
Mid 20th century water tower at Main Street. The tower is not depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1:10,560 map of 1956, yet appears on the Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 map of 1985. It therefore appears to have been constructed post-1956. {1}{2}{3}
The tower is clearly visible on an aerial photograph taken in February 1969. {4}
