Water Tower South Of Central Station

The water tower south of Central Station in Newcastle upon Tyne is a Grade II listed structure, dated 1891 according to a plaque on the tank. It was built for the North Eastern Railway and features rockfaced sandstone with ashlar dressings, along with an iron tank. The tower stands three storeys tall with five bays and has a tank on top. It has flat stone lintels and slightly projecting stone sills for the mullioned-and-transomed windows on the ground and first floors, while the second-floor windows are round-headed and set under stone arches with similar sills. The tower is topped with a moulded cornice, and there are chimney stacks on the returns with high corniced chimneys, featuring square yellow pots on the right. The tank itself is approximately 2 meters high and has the same dimensions as the building.
