The Tower from the Air

Courtesy of new neighbours Ged and Chris Benn who are moving in to Dr Hogg's old house at the back of the tower here are some fascinating aerial pictures showing their amazing house and grounds and the water tower too.

Here is our tower and summer house from the Benn's garden, which may help with orientation:

This image from 1988 show the Benn residence with the by then empty water tower top right with quite a meadow where water once occupied the tank:

The final image is presumably pre 1968 as the tank is brim full of water.   The rather sorry bridge across the tank is plain to see.  Less obvious is the overflow outlet from the full tank which appears, just as a black dot at the top right corner of the tank.   The area in front of the tank house appears to have raised beds on it, no doubt the work of gardening enthusiast Stationmaster Taylor.
