Description

The water tower, located in Blithfield Park, dates from the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of rendered brick and features an octagonal plan in a castellated Gothic style. The tower appears to have three stages, with a central Tudor arch door and a loop above it. The upper stage has loops on the left and right sides, and there is a pseudo-machicolation at the oversailing crenellated parapet.
