Description

The water tower, built around 1870, is constructed from squared snecked red sandstone. It features a three-stage machicolated design with battered angle buttresses. The round-headed doorway is topped with a hoodmould and flanked by a small bevelled rectangular window on each side. Above the first floor, there is a moulded string course, and on both the front and back of the tower, pairs of basket-arched windows with hoodmoulds and leaded glazing can be found. The second floor has paired loopholes on all sides.
