this shot taken in The Arboretum in Lincoln). A 22-mile long main was laid from Elksley to Lincoln, where the construction of the Westgate Water Tower was Commissioned by the Lincoln Corporation. The architect, Sir Reginald Blomfield (1856-1942), designed the tower to resemble a medieval keep so as to give a sense of continuity with the city's castle and cathedral. On its completion the Westgate Water Tower had an immediate impact on the city. The local paper "The Lincolnshire Echo" recorded an "air of excitement in the city in anticipation of a new supply of drinking water". This mammoth project was not completed until 1911. Still in use today and a principle source of water for uphill Lincoln the tower, holding some 330,000 gallons (1,356,000 ltrs), remains an imposing landmark visible from miles away. - at PicturesofEngland.com where you can explore the beautiful country of England with photos, history, facts, maps and more." /> '; ?>
