Wish there were some photographs of these places from the 1980s. I wonder if the city has any paperwork on it. Who specifically removed it? Were they briefed on the contents/risks? I'm still convinced there's stuff buried in that field, though I have not been back since my visit almost a decade ago. Lyme disease, risky.

I too recall this tank and used to play on the tank when I was growing up in Cornwall. I'm grown up now and I wrote horror novels. Currently I'm incorporating this tank into a novel I am working on right now.

Thanks. I lived about 6 blocks away from 1980 to 1983. Ages 11 to 14. Interesting to hear what happened.

i lived 2 blocks away from it in Riverdale in cornwall the tanks were about 30 feet round with a dome roof it was 100% pure concrete about 3 feet thick.. i use to play on so did numerous other kids without knowing what it was ...it was torn down in the very late 80's due to some child falling through a snow coverd hole....then the city decided to remove it then ...the ground back in the bush it blue,orange,ruty red ,and yellow...600 yards away were 4 giant acids pits from the phizer chemical factory ..its all filled in now but we use to throw in logs within seconds it was gone...so now its a huge hill and everyone calls it blue mountain cause the soil is blue..i hope i've been of some use to your question...
