cane hill | walking the perimeter

And here I stand on the perimeter of the industrial throbbing heart of Cane Hill. To my right is the squat red-bricked boiler house, a new addition to the hospital. The home of big impressive boilers, tunnels and asbestos.

In the center is the water tower. Considering we’re perched on top of Cane Hill, and the tower isn’t a small building, this local landmark can be seen for miles around. Drive south down Purley High Street and there it is, the Cane Hill water tower. I bet all the locals will miss it when it’s gone.

This was one of my ‘hand-through-the-fence’ shots. You can’t get any closer. Alas.
