A circular plaque below the artwork reads: Folkestone Artworks 3b. Diane Dever & Jonathan Wright (Dever, 1974, Ireland/Wright, 1981, UK). These four sculptures are all different and are loosely based on the water towers that used to be so common above the streets of New York. The sculptures have been placed along the line of the hidden waterways of the Pent stream, mapping its course under the streets of East Folkestone. Pent House 2 stands at the old site of the bridge over the Pent. It is positioned at the highest tidal point of the stream, the top end of the former harbour, and was often used as a place for women to collect fresh water. The building on the right is Seven Bingo.
