Tank House, Chare Bank

Image: © Andrew Curtis Taken: 15 Oct 2010

Recently rebuilt house on the site of a ruin. The house name refers to the stone-built water tank that stood on this hilltop site (close to the site of the 12th Milecastle of Hadrian's Wall) which was the village water supply from the mid C19th, fed from springs rising near East Heddon Image It went out of use when a metal tank on legs was provided nearby, and now itself demolished and replaced by mains water. http://heddonhistory.weebly.com/water-supplies.html
