Description

The Accumulator Tower, located to the south of the Grain Warehouse in St Mary's Goods Yard, was built around 1860. It is constructed of red brick with white and blue brick decorations and features a slate roof. The tower has a blue brick chamfered plinth and white brick corner pilaster strips, along with double first floor bands and an eaves cornice. It is two storeys high with a square plan, and there are single storey square pavilions to the east. The west front has two round-headed windows on the ground floor, which have unusually complex metal glazing beneath ashlar rusticated heads. Above these, there are two similar windows. This building is included for its group value and was likely designed for the Midland Railway by Thompson and Fryer.
