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.

—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“When General Motors has to go to the bathroom ten times a day, the whole country’s ready to let go. You heard of that market crash in ‘29? I predicted that.... I was nursing a director of General Motors. Kidney ailment, they said; nerves, I said. Then I asked myself, “What’s General Motors got to be nervous about?” “Overproduction,” I says. “Collapse.””
—John Michael Hayes (b. 1919)
