Town’s civic society wants to mark bicentenary with mini salt and pepper pots but can’t decide which is which
New York has the Empire State Building; Sydney has its opera house. Goole has its “salt and pepper pots”, a pair of water towers that are the closest thing the east Yorkshire town has to a landmark.
The towers have been a source of local pride for almost 100 years, but now a debate has ignited over which structure is which after the local historical society announced plans to immortalise them in a cruet set.
