Description
Built in 1924 in the campanile style with the tower in multi-colour bricks and with a blue brick plinth. The iron tank is painted red oxide colour having a copper-covered pavilion roof with a wooden turret, itself having a copper covered pavilion roof with weathervane on the apex. Elevations are symmetrical except for the addition of a door in the east and west elevations. Window openings have all been bricked in and have half-round gauged arches in rubbed bricks. A number of communication antennae have been attached at tank level.
The structure was adopted onto the Local List by the Local Plan Committee on 24/08/20. A good architectural example of its type and locally important structure.
