Dorrington Water Tower

As a bit of added history this is close to Dorrington church and opposite the small house (now derelict) where Frank Whittle lived and designed the jet engine.
I thought this water tower stood out well in the snowy weather.

I like this! The contrast of white on red is great.

Well it works!

Are there any monuments/anything of interest to photograph at Whittle's house? Wasn't expecting to see his name pop up when clicking on this thread haha. I'm currently studying aero engineering at university so Whittle's work is of particular interest to me.

Not really just foundations left with brickss everywhere, he used to pop across the road to the church and used it as a place to study.

The colour stands out really well, and the snowy branches make a natural frame.
