97. Water Tower 27/10/21.
A sturdy portal structure just visible to the left may be a hoist straddling the incoming siding, useful for lifting larger items off mainline railway wagons and trnsfering them to trolleys for internal movements (see the putative pulp conveyor machinery cabin in an earlier photo). The electricity supply runs to the upright and runs down to a switch – probably for lighting.
A roughly horizontal dark line in the A of the A frame just above the stack of glazed earthenware pipes is the temprary siding which enters the machine house north end to bring in the paper machine parts.
In the immediate foregroubd is just visible the oint lever for one of the internal spurs, probably leading down to the river bank where the steam cranes are working to excavate the bank. Alternatively it could be where the link from the mainline comes into the internal system (see the ’70s/’80s photos of the link).
