Awesome find guys i'll have to head over Luton soon and go out with you boys as you always seem to find goos explores.

 

[hales28]

amazing - well done guys!

 

[huffhuff]

Great find - i'll have to put my thinking cap onto where it is

I'm just outside Hitchin and it seems vaguely familiar...

 

[Black Shuck]

Nice find. Those Victorian Towers are becoming more and more rare these days. It is almost definetly either a Victorian Water Tower or an Accumulator tower.

Great find, and not a bit off grafitti which is rare for luton. This may have been a water tower for the Luton Hoo estate of it is that side of Luton.

thats animpressive tower, someone get up there!

BTW, is there any need to quote the entire first post, just takes longer to load the pics up twice

 

[godzilla73]

I wonder if this is the one you can see from the M25....?

Nice find there mate.
Gotta be water related.

 

[herts digger]

what a brilliant find mate,as mentioned before,I'm sure I have seen it ,cant think where,good pics of the pipes and valves,was the pump still there? it must have been huge,if it was I dont suppose you noticed what make it was,its another passion of mine,old water pumps.Its all there to be found ,so keep searching.

 

[Engineer]

was the pump still there?

The pump will probably be somewhere else at a lower level, possibly along the River Ver.

 

[herts digger]

water pump

Yeah,cheers engineer,you're probably right,that gives us something else to find.

Railway water tower?

Way to tall for a railway watertower.

 

[ricasso]

How about some idea of the location,it might give some indication of its purpose.

 

[Jazzy_Jefferson]

So....where is it then?

Let us know so some of us can explore properly....

 

[sheep21]

great find there!

did this old map you find have any building on it? Also on google earth anything that looks like a raised embankment or cuttings, if so, could have been railway related?

 

[Jazzy_Jefferson]

as already mentioned, its too tall to be a railway tower.


Anyone know where abouts it is? Just a rough idea would be a good start. This was originally posted in August last year!! been a while.....

 

[herts digger]

Popped along to Lutonmans tower recently with ricasso just to get a couple of pics ,just to confirm what an impressive building it is.Hope you dont mind me posting a couple of pics on your thread,your secret is safe with us!

i watched a teevee prog about a ` similar ` water tower that was converted into a home [ at gret effort and expense ] that one had a huge wellshaft below it

i you cannot go up - see if you can go down

I saw that program as well and it was Kevin McLoud's "Grand Designs" the present owner has restored to live in...Just amazing.

 

[LutEx]

That really needs climbing

 

[herts digger]

rather you than me mate!
