Full Description
Around the middle of 1941 an emergency water storage tank was erected in the Watling Street Car Park, containing 200,000 gallons; this was provided with a concrete floor later in the year. This looks to have been a large, rectangular concrete tank, at the northern corner of the Car Park. There was already an Auxiliary Fire Service Action Post in the immediate vicinity; might this explain the location?
