Current Times
Today, the driveway up to where the Volta Tower stood still exists and a farm has been built on top of the Volta Tower's location as well as a bungalow. Nothing of the tower exists today apart from one carved stone figure of a cherub from close to the top of the tower which was auctioned and sold to one of Finedon's residents in 2005.
It is only the older generation or those who have been told about the Volta Tower who know of its past existence but many of Finedon's residents will have never heard of it. It was one of Finedon's landmarks and does still appear on Finedon's town sign alongside the church and the windmill, which are both close to where the Volta Tower stood.

“I have drunk ale from the Country of the Young
And weep because I know all things now:
I have been a hazel-tree, and they hung
The Pilot Star and the Crooked Plough
Among my leaves in times out of mind....”
