I found this a while ago, it's a building over the filterbeds at Bowen Drive, but it looks more like a pumping station to me.

Copied from "eternal1966e" on flickr where it is dated 1920's. I've dated it 1925 being the 20's mid-point.

The Towers HK.jpg

The Towers is annotated on the back of the photo because to the right on the crest is another annotation - "our bungalow". I'm assuming it was also my family's home but can't be sure.

I wonder what The Towers were. It was an impressive building.
