I recently posted a whole bunch of other pictures of this impressive water tower that I’d shot with my Olympus OM-10, but here are a couple more – in medium format and colour!
Yashica Mat 124G & Lomography Color Negative 400. Lab developed. Home scanned and converted using Negative Lab Pro.
Taken on 1 March 2025
Steel City Snapper photography 
Nice sharp images and great colors from the Lomo.

Thanks. The Lomo 400 film produces nice, punchy colours.

Looks rather like a medieval keep or something to me – certainly not a water tower! Great shots.

It does, and given there’s an actual castle only a short distance away, it’s quite fitting that it looks this way, I guess. It was built in 1911 to help stop a typhoid outbreak that was affecting the city at the time.

Interesting history about the tower. Our water towers look like aliens with big bodies and overly long legs.

There doesn’t seem to be a standard design for water towers in the UK. The ones that still exist take on a huge array of shapes and sizes. Some here, for instance: https://uk.pinterest.com/lauracatz/water-towers-in-the-uk/
