Landmark brick tower beside Brunswick Villas on Kew Bridge Road. "It's a rare standpipe tower containing huge pipes going up and over that the beam engines pumped through and which would maintain a head on the engines if a main burst. This would prevent a possibly catastrophic accident". [Thanks - Chris Allen].
