Interesting and perhaps ten years ago. The embankment on the right is tree covered and the rear of the tower is in woodland also. Verdant of course but that is all. The Stationside Apartment block is now where the trees were. The tank is rusty and forlorn and a hostile sheet metal gate discourages access to the tower.
One of the factors for refusal of our recent planning application was that our rearward extension would spoil the view of the tower from The Sidings! Hmmmmm.
Anyway, that is history and we have resubmitted our application with a much reduced scheme that is less prominent in this 'iconic' view of the water tower. I rather wish I had come across this picture earlier.
