The Odney Diving Tower.
************************
The tower in the photo
above was erected by the villagers themselves in the early 1900’s. An area
below the tower in the river bed was dredged to give an ample depth of water to
dive into. It was found to be not practical due to the fact that silt from the
weir and adjacent stream kept filling the excavated hole up. So the tower was removed
and a single spring diving board was installed. This was also removed around
the time that the two changing huts were removed.
