Chapmanslade Water Tower

still hungryto get some better shots of the water tower made of two fascetted cones, the base was tall, tapering narrowly as it reached the second inverted fasceted cone that flairs out. An absolutely fantastic building. Hard to get to but next sunny day we'll be there.
Looking forward to making a scaled down version of it in the near future. Today, however, I nipped up to Chapmanslade to get a picture of thier modest tower for all you water tower fans out there. Chapmanslade is an amazing name for a place, for me it always conjurs up images of Jake and Dinos Chapmans Chapmanworld combined with Slade, Noddy Holder with a Fuckface nose, maybe not.
Got to the site next to a layby, a large sign saying KEEP OUT, which roughly translated into Skreegalese meens get in quick before you get spotted. Cut through the hedge and got this picture before a bull appeared from behind the black wrapped silage and I hastily got out of the field. Still, not bad for a midweek water tower.
