Early 20th Century Water Tank

Image: © Pete Marrison Taken: 17 Nov 2022

Brick built water tank. Approximately 3 metres x 2 metres x 1 metre high. It is no longer in use and overgrown with vegetation. The construction and associated broken metal pipework indicate that it was probably built in the 1920s. The foundation of the south wall appears to have been built on top of the remains of the north wall of the earlier St. Ronan's Well. It is situated approximately one metre north of the boundary fence which surrounds Mains Farm's grass fields.
