Me and mr fluffy went a few years back and it was a fantastic place, all the kit and
Equipment was still in place.

I'll post what I did on Facebook here...

Although the place became a ruined graffiti-filled shell of it's former self over the last couple of years it holds some special memories for me not least the new years eve spent up there watching the dozens of firework displays going off all over Oxford and Kidlington at midnight, and it also formed an easy introduction to urbex for people. Over my nearly 20 trips up there since 2010 in all weathers, at all times of day and with many different people I had a great time so it will be sad to see it go.

I was there at dawn



I was there at dusk



I was there at night



I was there in the snow



I was there in storms



We hung an England flag off it for St. George's Day 2011



We strung bunting up all over it for the Queen's Jubilee in 2012



You will be missed, Water Eaton, a fine derp. Now there is literally sod all to do in Oxfordshire, which is one of the many reasons why I've pretty much packed it in.

It is strange after passing it for decades to see it finaly going, like may landmarks.

What are peoples most missed landmarks that have gone over the last few years....

I will start off with the Salt and Pepper cooling towers in shefield...

Gutted, no longer will I drive past it, look at the roof and think to myself, "I've been up there"
