Moving back to Norfolk recently and seeing these old water towers again instantly takes me back to my childhood - memories of driving past them and staring at their imposing presence on the landscape with a feeling of awe, wonder and foreboding too - there was always something so alien-like about these structures. There is also a familiarity which makes us feel connected to these forgotten places resulting in a profound melancholic yearning for an absent something. By stirring feelings of nostalgia, ruminations on the past and invoking collective memory, these images create an almost shrine-like sense of time elapsed, intense longing and missingness.
