By the shores of Carsington Water, Derbyshire stands this 1940s-built brick and concrete structure, known as the "bomb Tower" or more correctly, the "Quadrant Tower".
The whole valley is now a vast reservoir, (opened in 1992), but in the 1940s and 50s was used for bombing practice. This tower, and a sister, now lost under the waters, were used to plot & triangulate the position of the "hits"
