Water Tower (Westernmost Of Pair)

The water tower, built around 1930, is constructed of concrete. It is the westernmost of a pair and comprises a central, circular four-storey tower encircled by concentric pillars braced to both the central tower and to each other. These concentric pillars support the water tank, which is wider in diameter than the tower itself. The central tower has a plinth and a double board door on its north side. It features five tiers of rectangular windows on each side (north-east, south-east, south-west, and north-west), most of which are iron-framed with fixed six-pane lights. The concentric pillars are square in plan, also with plinths and cornices. The triangular-ended braces connect the pillars, and the uppermost panels between the pillars are round-arched; brackets extend from the spandrels of these arches, supporting a cornice at the base of the water tank. The tank itself has recessed rectangular panels, a plain cornice, and a balustrade.
