B.W.T.A.S. @ Braintree, Saturday 10th October 2015

The British Water Tower Appreciation Society will have a presence at the Industrial Heritage Fair in Braintree, Essex, this coming Saturday. BWTAS has teamed up with the local Balkerne Tower Trust in order to have a stand at this event, hosted by the Essex Industrial Archaeology Group — a programme of events can be downloaded here. Entry is Free.

BWTAS will have copies of the definitive book on UK water towers: “Water Towers of Britain”, by Society President, Dr. Barry Barton, for sale at a heavily discounted price (synopsis). Also for sale will be the 2016 BWTAS Calendar — the last calendar we produced in 2012 was a sell out and became a collectors item! Brian Light of the Balkerne Tower Trust, will be giving a short talk on “Jumbo” and the Public Water Supply Industry. I'll be there too, to try to answer any water tower questions that you may have…

Time & Location:

Saturday 10^th October 2015, 10:00 to 16:00
Braintree District Museum
Manor Street
Braintree
Essex CM7 3HW

Hope to see you there,

Essex Water Towers For Sale

Not to be confused with the concrete tower which is the subject of phone mast protests, the 1889 water tower(s) at Colne Road, Halsted in Essex have been on the market for some time at £599,950. Rightmove listing here

They may have been sold by now but at time of posting were still for sale. If you fancy a tower with four bedrooms, 3 baths and and another water tower as a home/SME office, (is this a BOGOF offer?) then get onto Wright & Co at Sawbridgeworth.

A one-bedroom Victorian water tower in Braintree is also on the market with Connells for around £200,000
