TR3967 : Crampton Reservoir

taken 9 years ago, near to Broadstairs, Kent, England

Crampton Reservoir
Crampton Reservoir
Just beside the Crampton Tower stands this reservoir or cistern. Built circa 1859 and holding 83,000 gallons of water. A write-up at the site compares it to rural cisterns in Turkish villages but I would also compare it to TQ9220 : Water Cistern, St Mary's Church a few miles down the coast in Rye.
