You can’t miss this one due to the massive water tower at the top. You can’t get in though, as gates are locked so the closest you’ll get are the gates on Park Lane. There’s nothing very interesting around here so I left it until I was in the area. The Wife wanted to go to the nearby IKEA so I made a quick escape from the furnishings to bag this one. There’s parking at the nearby Water Tower pub making this a very quick drive-by.
