Yorkshire water towers for sale
I spent this weekend on an expedition to look at Lovesome Hill Water Tower, just outside North Allerton, auction estimate just £5000 and Wheldrake Water Tower, estimate £20 000, also managed to take in a view of my all time favourite, Moortown Water Tower, Leeds. It looks like Wheldrake could attract developers but, sadly, Lovesome Hill with the small land and little likelyhood of conversion may be demolished. I am sureyou all gfeel the same that this cultural vandalism is horrific. I did try to raise the money to save this icon of the local skyline but failed. Auction takes place at Elland Road football ground on the 18th. Let us pray that someone out there can save this icon of industrial architecture, overlooked by the normals, a treasure of our culture.
