Manby Park

Don't go getting the wrong impression here. Manby Park isn't a wildlife park or part of the open countryside. It's the cuddly name for what used to be RAF Manby, now basically an area for small businesses many of which are housed in the old RAF buildings. I had to take a package to Manby Post Office to return to Amazon after they managed to send the wrong item. As the P.O. is opposite Manby Park I thought I would have a look round. Years ago, when my hip joints would let me walk that far, I frequently took my dog for a walk there, as many people do now. I thought it would be interesting to see how much it may have changed since then.

It's not all stark buildings. There are the occasional areas which give a more countryside feel:



Lastly, can you guess what this building was for?



Before it became a convenient place to put mobile phone aerials it was the station's water tower.
