This for me used to be a very scary place as a child yet it held a fascination for me, I spose it was the danger. My Mam used to warn me to stay away from the Fan Tower which obviously meant go there as soon as possible !!!!. We used to climb to the top of the tower and drop stones down the shaft. It seemed to take ages to hit the bottom and then the sound used to reach us from the bottom , a horrible ghostly echo that sent us scrambling back down the tower like scalded cats !!! We used to dare each other to go there at dusk or after dark, climb the tower and drop the stones, but I dont think any of us had the STONES to do that !!!!! Happy days and a wonderful childhood memory of better days, poorer, but better .
