Memorial ObeliskMonument or public art · 833 ydExplorer Tom Memorial Obelisk in Braintree is just a big pointy rock that says ‘remember this person’. It’s got that solemn look, but I bet the person it honors was actually quite cheeky. Go have a laugh with it; it won’t mind if you’re respectful.

Water tower - HalsteadCastle, fort or tower · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Water tower - Halstead is just a big tank for water. Boring? Maybe. Essential? Yes. Go stand underneath it and feel small. It’s a good reminder that gravity exists, doesn't it?
