Description
Victoria Tower, built between 1897 and 1899, commemorates Queen Victoria's Jubilee. The architect was Isaac Jones, of Herne Hill, London, and the contractors were Messrs Ben Graham of Crosland Moor. Constructed from hammer-dressed stone, the tower is slightly battered and square in plan, featuring machicolations and a crenellated parapet. A stair tower corbelled out on the north-east corner. Various single-light windows are incorporated into the design. The tower was erected in place of a planned Free Public Library.
