A while ago I put this image on the Blog of the Hoffman Kiln at Stainforth and a close up of its water supply which also supplied the water tower:
Today I had a look to see if the very obvious rectangular water tank was still there - and it isn't. I suppose such a big, remote and open water reservoir would have been considered hazardous.
However, the supply itself is:
This is the approximate location of the old tank - now a fast flowing, plentiful and clear stream. A little way uphill the same stream flows through a couple of iron tanks, gently rusting away. The blue pipe indicates that it has had recent t.l.c. though.
