Another Look Underground
Still a Bit Out of Order

The First Monday Photo

As Typepad is having technical problems after moving to a new server which mean I cannot upload photos until the problems are fixed, I thought I'd show you the first Monday Photo, from February 2020.

You may find that this photo when clicked on, does not produce an enlarged version. I can't do anything about that until the technical issues are fixed.

Mursley water tower  from HillesdenEight Miles High

The Monday Photo

Mursley water tower sits on a hill that’s over 500 feet high; it's a local landmark. I’ve often spotted it from the roads and fields in the villages around Mursley, but I didn’t realise it could be seen from eight miles away until I visited Hillesden.

Hillesden is also high on a hill, and from the hill the water tower is unmistakable on the distant horizon. To the right you can see two radio masts that are on a farm just the other side of Mursley, and the trees in front of them are part of the village.

The darker band of trees you can see a bit closer to the camera is Addington. Winslow, between the two villages, can’t be seen at all.

Mursley water tower was built by the Buckinghamshire Water Board in 1938, so that mains water at a good pressure was available to the central and Northern parts of the county.

Have you ever spotted a local landmark from a great distance?
