Water Tower At East Side Of Junction With Cleanthus Road

The water tower, built in 1910, is located on the east side of the junction with Cleanthus Road in Shooters Hill. It features an octagonal design with a blank base that rises to two storeys, followed by six stages above, with the fifth stage being blank. The tower is topped with a pointed, swept tiled roof that has gabled dormers on alternate faces. It is constructed from multicoloured stock brick with red brick dressings. The main eaves cornice is made of wood and stone moulding. The dormers include three stepped slit windows and have a red brick moulded eaves cornice.

The top stage, made of red brick, has three round arched openings on each face, each with stone cills. Below this is a blank stage featuring red brick arched corbelling and angle lesenes that merge with a slightly projecting upper floor. Each face of the tower has a four-storey, long, round arched recess defined in red brick, with a round-headed slit window on each floor within these recesses. The recesses are supported by a red brick moulded and dentilled cornice at the bottom stage. The tower stands on a plinth approximately 8 feet high, which has stone coping.
