Yes Bert, that's more like an EWS tank. Not old enough to remember them in use of course. I remember one being used as a water storage tank in a nursery/market garden that was near Woodchurch Rd/Storeton Rd lights. Was on a steel trestle affair to give a decent head I suppose. They built houses on the plot in the late '50's I guess.
"EWS" was stencilled in yellow paint on walls, with an arrow indicating the nearest supply. Those signs lasted for years after the unfortunate misunderstanding with Herr Hitler.

Just when I should have been learning to swim all the public baths were turned into EWS storage tanks. There was no-one to maintain them and they turned green and slimey! Put me off swimming for life!

Going on past memory of what i have read and been told the EWS tanks in this area were mainly rectangular, though there was circular tanks in other areas,(read recently, now i can't find it) 7M x 2m high. Children use to swim in them on hot days. The swimming baths that were used as temporary EWS tanks were also used as temporary mortuaries.
God help us,
Come yourself,
Don't send Jesus,
This is no place for children.
