A Braithwaite modular tank at Scunthorpe Steelworks. The Braithwaite company dates back to 1884 under the name of Braithwaite and Kirk at Crown Bridge Works, West Bromwich. Today the business continues as part of the Rowecord Group. www.braithwaite.co.uk

I spotted this narrow street whilst walking in central Glasgow. The Braithwaite water tank on top of the end building is a bonus.

Water tower on the old Co-operative shop building on New Street, Barnsley. I suspect that this was to supply a sprinkler system. Since I took this photograph the building has been demolished.

If you want ready-mixed concrete in Sheffield then this is the place to come to. Hope Construction Materials operate this plant on Harvest Lane, close to the city centre. The mixing tower incorporates a large Braithwaite tank adjacent to the cement silo.

Folds Mill, Folds Rd, Little Bolton was opened in 1884 by Arthur Bromiley and Co, Ltd., cotton spinners and manufacturers, with 700 looms manufacturing, shirtings, cambrics, jacquards, dobbies, etc. By 1938 the mill was in use as a printing works and from the 1960s - 1980s Marston Radiators. The lettering B A S stands for Britain's Aquatic Superstore which has been based here from at least 1985. The name of the manufacturer of the water tank, Witter & Son, is shown in the centre panel of the left face. Witter & Son of Crown Works, Bolton, were manufacturers of fire protection equipment. It is likely to have been installed to supply an automatic sprinkler system in the mill. Their 'Witter' sprinkler has been extensively used in many countries.
