It was a nice afternoon yesterday so I did a bit of exploring on the bike. I finally got to see what is at the end of the road where I live. Where the houses end it becomes a dirt track which is too rough for a normal car. At the end it meets a slightly better gravel track where I found a strange concreted area, about the size of a football pitch and made up of huge slabs. In the middle there is a large plumbing fitting, something like a valve with a pressure gauge. I wondered if it could be some kind of reservoir?

Those stones look pretty old and well worn.

Their is two possibilty,s the one I thing could be wright Oil Well as you my no on M1 going to Wien to boarder there are Oil Well,s on side of Motorway the vale setup as a oil well in my experance with cival eng. Gas my by but if so the should be a Cage should be around the Site as these are Live Pipe Lines the Concrete slabs are cast off site allowing a portable foundation, I have done that and bean there doing this type of work digger

Initially, I thought oil as there are still working wells in the area though I have never seen the concrete slabs around any of them

The sugesten being precast as portable base and working area easly put in place and removed to other sites, digger

Ah, makes sense! So whether oil or something else, it would be a portable area for tankers etc to access the pump.

Nice to see you can get out and about on the bike the weather looks pretty decent for January..
