Water Tower at Havering - atte - Bower, Essex

Looking East down Broxhill Road from the village centre produces this view of the prominent water tower. Built by the South East Essex Water Company in 1934 to help maintain water pressure to the town of Romford, some two miles distant. It is still owned by the water authority but believed to be not now required for its original purpose. With the sun shining on it, it can be seen from the top of the London Eye, seventeen miles away.
