The Victorial water tank, Bix

This is a brick-lined open water tank which was constructed c.1895. The tank was derelict for some sixty years becoming overgrown, broken up, lost to view and obviously serving no purpose. However, in 1998 it was spotted and investigated, and slowly its story was established and restoration of the tank began. Restoration was completed in 2002. The water is obtained using a hand pump and the most likely uses were for watering horses and as a refill water station for the steam engines as well as being the domestic water supply for the village.
