What is recorded here
Water tower, Whittlesey, Cambs is a castle, fort or tower in Fenland, England. Perhaps it stood as a watchtower above the fens, reading the water line and warning when the land sank. Maybe residents climbed its stairs to measure rain, fear and relief in the same breath. Imagine the tower still holding that duty, turning local memory into a sharp vertical point.
