St Pancras water towerS - the plot Thickens

Recent posts have been attributed to St Pancras Station, London but they give rise to some doubt about a clearly different tower at more or less the same location.

The first three pictures below are clearly of the same tower, undoubtedly at St Pancras, at the north end of the station.   Picture 3 shows it rebuilt nearby alongside the Regents Canal


Picture 1
Picture 2

Picture 3Picture 4 - shows a taller tower with two arched windows at the near end, quite different from the tower in pictures 1, 2 and 3.   The station train shed has the proportions and feel of St Pancras, north end but perhaps it is not.   Or there could have been more than one tower near to one another at St Pancras.   Further work needed methinks.   I shall post any results here as I know that Blog followers will think of little else meantime.   Apologies for any lost sleep.
