I can't remember where I heard about this place, but I can't have been listening 'cause I thought it was in Derby, but it's in Leicester! Doh!
My Mum & Dad think it was probably part of an old pumping station, but I dunno. I thought maybe the tower was the pumping station, but where it was pumping the water to, I dunno.
It's at the end of a long road off Abbey Park Road and is really bashed up. The whole area is undergoing re-development and the tower is going to be done up (according to the developers) but you know what developers are like! They don't wanna spend anymore than they have to!
Whilst I was down there, 2 people came past walking their dogs and then a huge chav family came past with pitbulls. I swear I attract chavs. Or is it that they're just everywhere these days? One said to her Dad 'Is he a photographer?' Well, I did have my camera, so I certainly wasn't drawing the tower! Doh!
I'm glad I photographed it before all the re-development gets finished. There's a picture below of what the place is going to look like when it's finished. Should be nice.
