The water tower used to serve the Myland Hospital that before WW2 was an isolation hospital for TB and other infectious diseases. It was deemed to be far enough outside of the town as to not pose a health risk to the general population. The hospital was still in use in the 1970's. This is the only trace of the hospital that remains and by the look of it this too is due for demolition quite soon.
