Mini 3 Warder's Tower, Knypersley Pool, Stoke-on-Stoke on Trent

[AlbionDrones]

Hidden behind the trees on the banks of Knypersley Pool - a reservoir built between 1825 and 1827 to feed the canal system - lies the impressive sandstone Warder's Tower - or Warden's Tower as it was called when I was a child growing up in the area!

Home now to several endangered and at-risk species of bat it was originally a gamekeeper's lodge for the Knypersley Estate, and was lived in until the 20th Century.

Growing up in the area I can recollect running around the Pool area, and coming across this wonderful 'castle' tower which sparked our imagination...

Captured at the end of September 2024 with the MINI3 Pro and AVATA1, just with the first blushes of autumn colours in the trees, I hope it does the place justice and is enjoyed...
