Wilco Krul:
The water tower near Conington is a ‘symbol of remembrance’. This water tower is also depicted on a memorial plaque, which is located next to the water tower. The text on this memorial plaque reads:

GLATTON AIR BASE
1944 1945
The WATER TOWER that stands before you is the only remaining significant structure of the Glatton Air Base.
Construction of this base (Station 130) was completed by the 809th Engineer Battalion (Aviation) of the United States Army in late 1943. It was home for the 457th Bomb Group (H) of the U.S. Army Eighth Air Force in 1944-45.
Today this tower stands alone, like a silent sentinel, providing a visual landmark for those 457th Airmen who did not return from that last mission.
It is a symbol of remembrance for all Airmen who fought in WWII for the cause of freedom.

Läs om vattentornet – Ebers vattentorn – Cirkulation nr 5/2001.
Pelare eller strävor som bär upp ett vattentorn skall inte bara på ett säkert sätt fylla sin funktion, utan skall också visuellt övertyga betraktaren om det. Betongvattentornet i Trent Park i Cockfosters i norra London gör förhoppningsvis detta. Byggherre var dåvarande Lee Valley Water Company, med cheferna J.W. Milne och E.H. Riley.
De raka strävorna bildar ett effektfullt flätat hyperboliskt gallerverk, där varje sträva lutar 120° mot markplanet. Tornet, där det en tid fanns planer på att ha restaurang överst, är från 1968 och har en reservoar på 1 130 m³. Det ägs i dag av Veolia Water UK.
