Link Taylor. Lexington. NC.I took this picture the evening of October 25. I headed out to get some dinner and got a nice picture of this water tower with the sun setting. The smoke stack says Link-Taylor which was a wooden furniture company in the early part of the 20th century. The company of course has been sold, merged, split and sold again but furniture is still made in Lexington at the plant under a different name. Read about the history via the link above.
Crescent (set of crossroads). Near Rockwell. NC.On October 26 I headed out around 6:30AM. Right away, I saw 2 great old water towers outside Rockwell. They sat on high school and middle school property directly across from each other. This one has some great graffiti.
Rockwell. NC.Continuing on Highway 52 I drove through the little town of Rockwell. If this isn't a scenic highway, it should be.
Albemarle. NC.In Albemarle there was also a Collins and Aikman (auto division) water tower. The sun was shining so bad behind it the picture didn't come out well.
The next 2 towns on Highway 52 also had water towers - Norwood and Ansonville - however I needed to make my appointment so I didn't stop to get pictures.
SPCC. Wadesboro. NC.The town of Wadesboro also had some water towers but I didn't get pictures of them. I should be headed back to Wadesboro this winter and will get pictures then.
However, on my way out of town I got this water tower picture. Do you know this says SPCC not PCSC or some other combination? What does SPCC stand for? South Piedmont Community College.
Morven. NC.I came upon this water tower while looking for the Anson County Water Treatment Plant where my appointment was. I was almost in SC. That would have been a heads up that I had gone too far.
Rockingham. NC.The plan was to take Highway 1 north from Rockingham to go home. It didn't quite work out that way, but I did eventually make it home.
