A new (to me) picture of Garsdale water tower. This is a postcard dated sometime before 1909 and one of a series, printed in Germany.
The water tower and the then Hawes Junction South signal box are in the background, The water tower was identical to ours and the tank panels are reassuringly contrasty.
The Hawes Junction tank, like ours, was in a prominent location as a landmark along the Midland's proud new extension to Scotland, so like ours, it was painted for showiness.
