I took one today but it's all blurry so I'm going to try again tomorrow. But at least I've looked up the history behind it.

I had a quick fixed gear ride this afternoon.
This is a shot tower. Molten lead was poured through a copper sieve at the top and as it fell it formed small lead shot and landed in a tank of water at the bottom.
This is Kempton water treatment works and pumping station. The Victorian filter beds are still in use. The building on the right houses the world's largest triple expansion steam engine.

Shush ... Of course he could, I think it's a noble winner!
The shot tower in Bristol was one of the first places I remember seeing on a field trip when I started Uni

The first shot tower was built in Bristol by a plumber called William Watts.

I've just spent the last 15 mins or so reading about the history of the towers in Bristol, the only one I ever saw was the modern one, first glimpsed from the river in 1985.
Here's the history that I've just read.

The tower pictured is in Crane Park in Hanworth / Whitton, in the London Borough of Hounslow.
Next to the tower is the river Crane and the other side of that is an island on which gunpowder mills were located.

This fulfils none of the criteria really, although there's an old fireplace in the background which I suppose counts for something?
It's my cat Clyde who lost a fight with a car last night, so he's off to the big scratching post in the sky. Poor wee guy, I'm gutted. Some decent sort wrapped him up and put him in a box, and he's taken up residence a couple of feet under in the front yard.
(Apologies for being serious on this thread, I'm going for catharsis by internet strangers. Normal service will be resumed soon.)

RIP Clyde.
this is why I'd never have a cat. I'd never be settled when they're out.

His sister, Bonnie, and the Wise Old Man of the Peloton, Max, won't be going out for a while.
There's only one busy road near us and a new cat lives across it. Ours don't normally head that way so I guess he was tempted over and mis-timed his crossing.

I know it's not much to ease any loss but at least you got him back Andy.
