hilldweller Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 There is still, as far as I know, an underground tank, still filled with water, outside what once was the Marples Hotel. If you look in the road diagonally out from the corner of the building there is a large steel manhole cover. When Wigfalls store caught fire years ago they opened it up and put a number of suction hoses into it. I was there at the time and looked down it and it looked to be very large with a lot of water in it. I presume the brigade retain it to assist with large city centre fires. I expect there are others.
