Description
This later 19th century water tower is a three-storey structure with a square plan and a piend roof. It features slender round-arched openings that are placed asymmetrically, along with a letterbox-style ventilator at the eaves. The building is constructed from coursed stugged ashlar and has raised quoins, as well as window and door margins. The entrance door is timber-boarded with iron studs, and the roof is covered with slate. Additionally, there are cast-iron rainwater goods.
