Water tower, Upper Gardens 1 Year, 7 Months ago  
Through another website I was reminded of the Gothic water tower in the Upper Pleasure Gardens. This used to terrify me as a child/teenager and there was also a fountain somewhere near it which had the same effect. This would be between the 1950's and 60's. Does anyone know of any incidents that happened in that area, or is it just my vivid imagination. I could never explain why the place frightened me so much.

The water tower was to provide water just for the fountains of a local hotel.
The large fountain was removed many years ago.
I can't remember any accidents happening here but I am sure something much have happened over the years!

Thanks for the info.
You may be right, no doubt much had happened in the area over the years.
