Thanks, Beachbum.  That took a bit of finding as it doesn't show very clearly on Google satellite.  I doubt that I would have found it without your 'well' clue.

I'll put the next one up once the co-ordinates and any other posts have been put up.

You have it John Walker, it's the former Waterworks in the High Street, Leigh.

A waterworks built in the 1870s. There are 2 octagonal buildings with octagonal cupolas. The smaller building contains the well, which is 103 feet deep. The longer one contained machinery for softening and filtering the water. A steam pump pumped water into the reservoir at Hall Place.

Thanks Stewie. Bizzarre Thunderstorms today, but cooler than other parts of Europe.

Close enough Beachbum, we visited the Blean Woods nature reserve hoping to see the herd of European Bison which are roaming free here. Unfortunately after getting about a mile into the woods it absolutely poured with rain and we got very wet. We did not get to see the Bison but did come across a small herd of wild ponies sheltering under some trees. Over to you.
