Tilehurst Water Tower added to Historic Buildings in South East by apreading on 03/05/2024

Erected in 1932, Tilehurst Water Tower, is an iconic landmark on the ridge line in Tilehurst, a district in the Western part of Reading. People from Reading know they are near home when they are coming along the M4 from the West and they can see the top of the tower, several miles before they get to Junction 12.

In November 2018 the tower was illuminated in poppy red to mark 100 years since the end of the First World War. The tower remained illuminated, and visible at night from a wide area, until Remembrance Day on 11 November.

It still fulfils its function as a water tower today, and at the top it also houses a number of telephone masts and receivers and also the transmitter for Greatest Hits Radio Berkshire & North Hampshire, a local radio station.

The tower holds a huge 900,000 litres of water, in two 4.5 metre deep tanks and provides around 10 per cent all the water used in Reading, serving 12,000 homes and businesses.

Monkey Forest Trentham, Stafford (By D0c.Col)

I flew around the fringe of the Monkey Forest in order not to disturb them and the views over Trentham Park Lake are great.

Trentham Monkey Forest is home to 140 free-roaming Barbary macaques, allowing visitors to experience these endangered monkeys living as they would in the wild. A 3/4-mile pathway offers an immersive experience, with no cages or bars, where guests can walk, observe, and learn about the monkeys’ natural behaviors. Located in an ancient Staffordshire forest, it’s a perfect day out for visitors of all ages, providing a unique chance to see the monkeys live freely and learn about their conservation. After a year-long rejuvenation project, the forest officially opened its doors on July 19, 2005, showcasing the vast woodland once landscaped by Capability Brown.

A great day out for the family and right next door the the fabulous Trentham Park.

Carparking is free but there is a charge for entry into the Mankey Forest itself.
