Weston-super-Mare presentation tank - any photos?

I recently became aware that Weston-super-Mare was a recipient of a presentation tank after the end of the war. It was apparently deeply unpopular from the word go (several hundred pounds needed to be spent on its transport and installation, which many felt could have been better spent elsewhere), and it was consequently removed/scrapped in the early 1930's. It was subsequently replaced by a floral clock which still exists today and proved a much greater tourist draw. 

Whilst many photos of the floral clock exist I've not been able to find any of the tank itself, either being presented, in situ, or being scrapped. Do any other forum members have any photos of the WSM tank? Thanks in advance.
