WWII Emergency Water Supply (EWS) tank and associated military features, Spencer Square, Ramsgate, and is mapped from military aerial photographs.

The square EWS tank measures 30m squared and is first visible on photographs taken in December 1941 [1]. It is built some time between February and December of 1941 as it is not visible on the photographs taken in February 1941 [2]. The tank is backfilled by April 1946 [3].

Adjacent to the EWS tank are some earthwork features, including two short lengths of ditch, possible trenches, measuring 6.5m by 2.5m and 7m by 2.3m. There is also a small bank of earth beside the western trench, measuring 11m long and 2.5m wide. These are first visible in photographs taken in January 1941 [4] and were mapped from photographs taken in February 1941 [2]. These features were levelled and backfilled by April 1946 [3].

Pathways are also apparent around the EWS tank and around the extents of Spencer Court, first visible on aerial photographs taken in December 1941 [1] and are gone by Sept 1948 [5].
