Cycle past a really lovely water tower that is between Donaghadee and Groomsport a few times a week could take a picture but have a look at this video much better than any picture i could take, Know the tower is not in use but it really looks great and tbh when i pass it on a return cycle i know i am only a few minutes from home and time to slow down.

Took a trip out east today and bagged a bevy, the Doncaster area offering rich pickings.
Starting with Bawtry, which has I think been sold for residential development:

Then on to Rossington which seems to have been fitted with a cloaking device since the Streetview images were taken.

But Cantley made up for it with a brace:

Grateful to @Drago for this thread which obliged me to seek out new routes, some of which were along excellent cycle paths. I'll be returning to the area to explore further.

Is that the one alongside the 'GNR', about 1/2 - 3/4 mile north of Bawtry?

This was a water tower/tank

Not the best image, sorry, but the ball is the float from inside the chamber

There's the Salt & Pepper Pots at Goole, but they're essentially hydraulic accumulators, but still towers for storing water...
