While living in Belgium I came back to Yorkshire on a family visit for a few weeks.An old boss(Norman Lewis)rang me up by chance and I ended up doing about a month on nights leading water from near Howden to above Scammonden.It around 2 mins to fill the tank with 20 tons or so of water and not much longer to unload it.You had to be quick to open the lid before the tank was sucked flat.I also recall that there were many residents of Outlane village who complained about noise and speeding lorries 24 hrs.a dayPolice and company speed checks were frequent.I understand that there were hardly any lorry drivers nicked but almost every villager was.I’ll bet that the village chip shop never made as much money as then either.
