Water Tank at St Patrick's Church "I have attached a rough sketch of the location of the water tank at St Patrick's Church. It was a cast concrete structure , a big tank about the size of a small swimming pool but about 7 foot deep and filled nearly to the top. It was. of course. an emergency supply for the fire brigade but luckily as far as I know never needed. Bob Henderson, Burdiehouse, Edinburgh: December 14, 2007 |

Bob remembers this water tank from his school days. |
