The Waterworks

Lincoln City was overtaken by a typhus epidemic between November 1904 and August 1905, which was caused by contamination of the lake water in the Witham Hartsholme river. Over 1000 people contracted the disease. To prevent it from happening again the townspeople built the Westgate water tank, which is a huge building near one of the schools. It looks like an ancient medieval tower. It's near the castle and can be seen from different places throughout the city.
