Winshill Water Tower

... that Winshill Water Tower (pictured) was built in 1907 after a resident won a High Court ruling against the South Staffordshire Waterworks Company for failing to provide sufficient mains pressure? Source: "The story behind the water tower starts in 1905/6 with a legal battle in the High Court. For several years, residents in Winshill had been deeply concerned about the very low pressure of the water coming through their taps. They pleaded for something to be done and it was Mr Harry Mills Barrow who decided action was needed and presented a legal case against the suppliers. He personally fought the case in the courts and won." (Derby Telegraph)
- ALT1:... that Winshill Water Tower (pictured) was guarded by boy scouts during the First World War? Source: "Because of fear of invasion and attack by Zeppelins; local scouts patrolled the tower during the war." (BBC Sounds - World War One at Home)

Overall: Really interesting, little article. My one recommendation would be to do a copyedit of the article, mainly looking for punctuation; each of those prepositional phrases should be followed by commas. Ergo Sum 00:20, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Ergo Sum, glad you enjoyed the article. I've been through and the prepositional phrases I could identify and some spelling. Grammar's not my strong point so I may well have missed some! - Dumelow (talk) 08:01, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
