When I was a kid there used to be a road called Woodsetts Rd, well it still is called Woodsetts Rd, but everybody knew it as Tank Lane for obvious reasons, it had a tank very similar to the one @numbnuts posted went past the other day & it's been replaced with a house, no idea when that happened.

That's very similar to the towers between
1. Hall Green, & the top of Haigh Bank
(which drops down to 'Old Post Office' junction of M1; jct 38)

There's a nice 'Tulip' at Ackworth, with the added bonus of the Plague Stone 'preserved' at the top of SandyGate
It's at the side of the A628, Pontefract - Barnsley road
https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/339726
The field at the side of it is known as the 'Showground', & such notable events as the 'Scammell Gathering', 'Ackworth Steam Fair' take place there
So does the start & finish of Ackworth Half-Marathon

Not wanting to be a spoil-sport, but, there is already a similar thread here , but, I will just get value for peddling, by posting my pictures in both 
Locally, there is a landmark, known as "Cleadon Water Tower", so, myself and Mts @BoldonLad peddled along there this morning.
Actually, I may be able to triple my effort, by posting one in the "in front of a gate" thread to.
Although, as I said, the structure is referred to as Cleadon Water Tower, I think, having resorted to the all knowing Google, it perhaps should be more properly referred to as Cleadon Pumping Station Chimney? So, @Drago , your thread has, if nothing else, spurred me to enquire about a structure which I see most days, without thinking about it!
See here and here for more information.

A couple of local ones from this morning's ride.
First one as you enter Wollaston from Irchester.
Next one is next door to Wellingborough rugby club and it was converted to living accommodation about 5 years ago.
And then turn around and you can just see this one of the old A45 near Earls Barton

Lady Bolles Water Tower
Heath
It's now a 'conservation village', east of Wakefield (almost every house there is listed/'of interest')
A privately financed structure, dating to the early 1600's
It once pumped water, though pipework, to Old Heath Hall (demolished)
The remnants of the machinery remains in the bottom
Different dates for these two external images, hence the quality

https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/367351
And not too far away, this one was purported to supply water to Nostell Priory in the old estates form
In the second paragraph, a well-head at Ryhill is mentioned (dated 1505), this still exists but is on private land (Dame Bolles is accessible)
