The Old Water Tower

- This is the eighth sequence in the Cawston Remembers project.
This old Victorian water tower has been converted into a house by former pupil of Cawston College, David Forster. This conversion has been featured on Channel 5's "Build a New Life in the Country". David talks about how he came to buy the tower, and the conversion work he has undertaken over the last ten years.
What a level of sheer determination and effort, Sir!
Glad to find this follow up .
David you are legend 👍
Just watched this episode on Build A New Life In The Country when David first started working on the tower. So nice to see it completed with an additional annex added. Fabulous job!!
Me too! Couldn't believe how much he sounds like John Gater from the Time Team show.
What an amazing achievement David Forster ! I have been to the tower and stayed there and it is even more spectacular now than it was when this video was made. stunning and awesome are two words to describe it....a brilliant engineer indeed to have turned this ancient monument into a beautiful, unusual and restored Vintage/Victorian home.....unlike any other in the world I would say.

Yeah, you and the family did it! Beautiful!
I only saw this show today. I must say, it’s incredibly impressive. So happy for David & all his family. 👏🏼🙏🏼
Yeah me too and the fact the show ended before he completed it brought me here.
Thank you George for giving us another view of this wonderful restoration.
Hi David, its changed a bit from when we all worked on the tower, I really like the annex design.
Would love to see internal tour of completed interior? ‘if you can imagine it, you can do it’. Very well done to everyone involved. ❤️
Thank you.
Simply fantastic!
So frustrated this was all i could find on how the tower looks after 15 years. Anyone have links? please?
You need to do a trip to England :) when it will be possible, of course.
Here are a few links to one of the follow-up programmes, 3 years after the original episode, showing practical completion - skip to 40 minutes in after enduring all the ads!

I see from David's comment in the other UA-cam video
ua-cam.com/video/pQJLUT_JHe0/v-deo.html
that a separate structure was later added and there are further channel 4 episodes too.
I would love to see more photos of this wonderful structure. Do you know if any more photos were published?
BBC has a show called "build a life in the country" that features this structure as he is remodeling it.
@@pacob4728 I just watched the BBC programme.ua-cam.com/video/pQJLUT_JHe0/v-deo.html I'm so glad to see the project was finished in great style with the Annex. Hats off to you David - few people in the world have the vision, skills and perseverance to design and execute this extraordinary project. Hope and your family enjoy it for years to come.
@@AlabasterSkin Why would you post a link to the original show? I think most of us here have watched that, and we are trying to find updates.
@@shecat1964 Because some commenters were not aware of the original show. Why take time to make such a pointless negative comment?

The episodes for this tower have recently been on Channel 5 again, and it's the first time I've seen them, so thanks for this update, but who on Earth put that music over the top while they're still talking?! That's just damn irritating!
was he speaking from the annexe?
Build A New Life in the Country Series 3 Episode 1 is a revisit to see more :)
